Recipes for good habits

Once you have basic nutritional information, you will find many ways to help your children develop good eating habits. Some of the things you can do are:
• Serve a variety of foods.
• Let your children help prepare meals.
• Make mealtime a pleasant experience.
Mealtimes can be fun. They provide an opportunity to discuss the day’s events, plan outings, and get to know one another better. If mealtimes are relaxed and happy, your children will begin to associate the nutritious foods you serve with good feelings.
