Children often mimic the behaviours of their parents and caregivers. If they see you enjoying nutritious meals, and snacks they're more likely to follow suit.
Keep your pantry and fridge filled with nutritious snacks like fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt, and whole-grain crackers.
Get your child involved in meal planning and preparation. Take them grocery shopping and let them choose fruits, vegetables, and other healthy ingredients.
Teach your child about the importance of nutrition and how different foods affect their bodies. Explain the difference between nutrient-dense foods and highly processed foods.
While it's important to allow treats occasionally, it's also crucial to set limits on junk food consumption. Establish clear guidelines about when and how often your child can have these foods.
