Here are few tips we can follow in daily routine to have a healthy eating habit for your kids:
1.Each day schedule three hot meals at a fixed time . Serve the main meal at noon, when the digestion is at its peak. Ask your child to avoid running here and there, encourage to sit down while eating. Avoid giving food or drinks in the car.

2.If the child eats too slowly, the food will become cold and the digestion will be held up. If they eating too quick, they are not chewing it properly that will lead to indigestion. Encourage your child not to eat too quickly or too slowly – leading by example and showing them the right chewing speed helps.

3.Be sure your child has finished digesting the previous meal before eating a snack or a new meal. Do not force your child to overeat, feed him according to his natural appetite.

4.Serve small amounts of room temperature or warm water with the meals. According to Deepti one third portion of stomach should be filled by water to have some space for digestion.

5.Serve your family meals in a quiet and pleasant place without T.V ,telephone calls, computers ,or intense conversation. If the television is turned off, if there is a relaxed feeling, and calm conversation, the food will digest much better.
