How do I get my kids to eat healthy?
assistant
Start by setting a good example. Make sure you are eating healthy foods and avoiding unhealthy snacks. 2 Offer your children healthy alternatives to their favorite treats. For instance, instead of giving them candy, offer them fruit or nuts.3 Involve your children in meal planning and preparation. Let them help pick out healthy ingredients for meals and let them help prepare the food.4 Encourage your children to try new things. Offer them small portions of different types of vegetables and fruits.5 Try to make healthier versions of your family's favorite dishes. For example, replace butter with olive oil when baking or use low-fat milk instead of cream in coffee.6 Make it fun! Get creative with recipes that involve fruits and vegetables. 7 Reward your children for trying new foods. This can be as simple as letting them choose a special treat after they've tried something new.
