Journey Down The Belly

“Raising kids to eat a variety of healthy foods can be a challenge in our hectic lives. Some simple ways to develop healthy eating habits for kids of all ages include eating together as a family on a daily basis, which provides a chance for parents to introduce their children to new foods and be role models for healthy eating. Additionally, allow your children some control of what they will eat and won’t. Meals should be pleasant and enjoyable and parents should avoid forcing food on their children. Lastly, involving your kids in meal planning and cooking is also a great way for them to learn about nutrition and get excited about meals. Select age-appropriate tasks so kids can play a part in the kitchen. At the end of the meal, don’t forget to praise the little chef!”
