Healthy Children, Healthy Choices

Parents are in charge!

Yes, as a parent, it is YOUR responsibility is to buy healthy groceries and serve nutritious food to your growing children.

Start by establishing a routine, even if it is difficult at first. This means a set time for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Once you have a routine for meals and snacks, meal times are more relaxed. Most children are happier on a schedule and become hungry at regular times. You’ll feel happier about your parenting job when the family has a routine.

So, be consistent! Children need a meal routine just like they need a bedtime routine. Plan for three meals and two snacks each day! Serve a vegetable or fruit at every meal. Fruits and vegetables are great for snacking too.

Instead of rewarding your child with food, reward them with attention (hugs, kisses, and smiles) and playful activities. After all, wouldn’t you rather shower your child with love than poison them with sugary foods that lead to childhood obesity and an early grave? Child advocacy organizations consider not teaching your child healthy eating a form of child abuse because it leads to illness, disease, and early death. They argue that no one who loves their child would intentionally kill them slowly with unhealthy food and a lack of organized exercise or healthy activities.
