Most kids do not particularly enjoy eating "healthy" foods. So what your children learn to eat at home early in life sticks with them well into adulthood.
Here are 5 tips How to Get Kids to Eat Healthier
1. Give foods fun names
i.e. Tally's wiggle macaroni and cheese. You can also name things after them or fun T.V characters they like, for example Micky Mouse.
2. Be a good role model.
Most of the parents we know complain that their children refuse to eat healthfully. The real problem most often lies with the parents, not the kids
Most of us are so accustomed to eating out and buying prepared foods in the grocery store that we don’t even know what good food is anymore. In order to be good role models we must educate ourselves first and then practice what we preach.
3. Don't nag about unhealthy choices.
When children choose fatty, fried, unhealthy foods, redirect them by suggesting a healthier option.
4. Experiment with fun colors and shapes.
Could you cut that sandwich or fruit into a star or heart shape with a cookie cutter?
5. Sit down to family dinners at night.
If this isn't a tradition in your home, make it one. Research shows that children who eat dinners at the table with their parents have better nutrition and are less likely to get in serious trouble as teenagers. Start with one night a week, and then work up to three or four, to gradually build the habit.
