How to encourage picky kids to eat healthy

Tweet

Some moms are having a hard time balancing daily meals for their kids(ages 6-9 especially) because some are really hard to feed while others are picky eaters. Here are some healthy tips on how to encourage picky eaters to eat in a healthy way: -Introduce new food one at a time so kids won't get confused on the taste of a certain food. -Serve small portions. Don't force your child to eat even if he's already full. -Introduce unfamiliar food with familiar food for greater variety. -Cook food in a different way. Childhood is the time to instill good eating and exercise habits. It becomes much harder to make lifestyle changes in adulthood. Parents play a major role in promoting a healthy lifestyle among kids by serving as role models. In teaching your kids to eat the right food, it is best to introduce to them the basic food groups: grains,vegetables,milk,fruits, and the meat and bean group. By teaching them the benefits of these food groups and the vitamins and minerals they provide, kids can become familiar with them. Hope these tips can help all the mothers out there in feeding their kids..:)
