How can I get my kids to eat healthier?
assistant
Start by setting a good example. Eat healthy meals yourself and make sure your children see you eating nutritious foods.2 Offer them choices that are both tasty and healthy, such as steamed vegetables with a dip or fruit smoothie for breakfast.3 Make sure the food they're eating is prepared in a way that makes it easy for them to eat. For example, cut up raw fruits and veggies ahead of time so they don't have to spend extra energy chewing.4 Try to limit their intake of processed snacks like chips, candy, and sugary drinks.5 Involve your children in meal planning and preparation. Let them help pick out ingredients and let them help prepare the meal.6 Ask questions about what they want to eat and why. This will give you an opportunity to talk about nutrition and health.7 Finally, reward them for trying new foods and making healthy choices.
