Teaching your children how to eat healthy

GOOD HABITS FOR KIDS
14 August 2014 · Vanessa

We tend to affirm that kids just like unhealthy food, sweets and fatty products. The truth is children are a reflection of what we do and practice at home. They will always imitate what their parents do and the habits. Teaching your child to eat vegetables, fruits and healthy food does not have to be a hard work.

Here we offer you some tips to teach healthy eating habits to your children:


Try not to scold

Scolding your child will only cause more rebellion. Try to never blackmail and threaten them with punishments because it is hard for them to understand the message.


Be their best example

As we mentioned earlier in this article, parents should teach their children. You are the best example they can have, so always try to eat as healthy as possible and show them that healthy food is the richest.


Take your kids grocery shopping with you

If you make your children accompany you to shop for groceries, you can explain where vegetables or fish come from, let them observe and become familiar with the food they have to eat.

Give your children different options

If you give your children the same food to try over and over, they soon will get bored and will refuse to try it again. Offer them different options and alternate them. Remember that they need time to adjust to new flavors, be patient.
