3Promote Healthy Eating Habits
- Change your childs unhealthy habits before they
become a comfortable routine. Simply bring
healthy foods into your home while keeping
unhealthy food out. In this way, you can
encourage healthy eating habits, even for the
pickiest children. Undertake these changes to
ensure your child follows a healthy diet - Minimize shopping for unhealthy food in bulk
- Add lean meats, fish, poultry and lentils for
protein - Encourage your child to drink 8-10 glasses of
water a day - Warn kids about beverages high in sugar

5Set an Example
- To make the above-mentioned habits easy for your
child to implement, set an example by following a
healthy diet while avoiding junk food yourself.
That will encourage your child to eat healthily
and imitate and follow the behavior of elders,
especially parents. - Dine with your child and keep meals and snacks in
balanced portions have plenty of green veggies
and fresh fruits eat calorie-rich desserts and
snacks in moderation. Eat at home and pack
healthy lunches in front of your child who is
going off to school or on a picnic. When eating
out, choose the restaurant that provides healthy
meals. - Your healthy eating habits will be transferred to
your child over time, helping him or her maintain
a healthy weight.

6Educate Your Children about Nutrition
- Children can make good choices if they have
knowledge of nutrition and healthy food. They
must know the effect of the food they are
consuming. However, teaching them to eat healthy
can be complicated if it involves too many
details. Instead, you can convey your message in
a playful way so that learning about healthy
eating sounds like fun to them rather than a
lecture. - At the grocery store, tell them the benefits of
green veggies. - Use picture books that provide information about
nutrition and healthy eating in the story line.
Discuss with them what they read. - Encourage them to play smartphone games, like
Healthy Food Monsters, Healthy Heroes, and
Healthy Eating with Diana.
