Do you want your child to eat healthier? If so, let kids help in the kitchen. Even very young children can help peel potatoes or carrots. Set up a small workstation for your child so that he can pitch in at meal time. Even children as young as two years old can help in the kitchen. Kids also get really excited about foods they create, and will be more likely to try new things if they help prepare the meal.
Fruits and vegetables are very healthy and help develop good immune systems. Try purchasing new fruits and vegetables for kids to try. While cooking together, teach them the benefits of including these foods in their meals. Lastly, be sure to act as a role model. Kids watch what you eat, and they will often imitate your diet. Creating meals together, trying new foods and setting a good example of eating healthy, can help create healthier eating kids!
