A Guide to Childrens Diet and Nutrition for Parents

Raising children is hard work, and sometimes, parents think that their children just do not listen. There is a lot of evidence to the contrary. They will listen to health advice.

A University of North Carolina study found that although children do not want their parents to talk to them about how to dress or the kind of music to listen to, 80 percent say that they actually want their parents to talk to them about health.

GETTING STARTED. Deciding to become more active in promoting healthy eating and lifestyle habits for your children is a decision you will never regret. A great way to start is by talking to your doctor and to your family.

Your doctor can tell you whether your child weighs too much. By using tools, such as growth charts for children, your doctor can determine whether you should be concerned. Your doctor can then work with you to create a solution.

Once you have developed a plan, sit down with your family and explain that you will be making some important changes in family meals and that eating will be different — but fun. Remember that this is not just your child’s issue; it’s your family’s issue as well. Aim for a healthy balance of foods for everyone.

One of the best things you can do on a regular basis is to sit down as a family during meals. This promotes family unity and gives everyone an opportunity to connect with one another.

Remember that children like to have fun. Introduce a variety of new foods and dishes to your family.
