If you’re having trouble making smart nutritional choices for your kids, your child’s pediatrician can help you create healthier eating habits.
Choose Smarter Snacks — Instead of candy or chips, try nuts, apple slices with peanut butter, whole-grain crackers and cheese sticks, or hummus and carrots.
Get Your Kids Cooking — Making children an active part of meal preparation gives them pride in the foods they’ve helped make, leading to them being more likely to eat it.
Hide Healthier Foods — Hide veggies into dishes they already love such as whole grain mac and cheese, soups, or sandwiches.
Show Your Kids How It’s Done — Kids watch and mimic what parents do, so leading by example can improve not just your child’s health but yours as well.
