Is your toddler a picky eater? Does he refuse food, turns his nose up at the sight of food or drives you crazy by not seeming to eat anything at all for days on end?<\/p>\n
Healthy eating habits are key to child\u2019s growth and development.\u00a0Current lifestyle exposes toddlers to junk food at very early stage which leads to problems\u00a0including child obesity.<\/p>\n
Here are few tips through which we can build healthy eating habits of kids:<\/p>\n
Eating Breakfast:<\/strong> Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, even if it\u2019s just a banana and a glass of milk, kick-starts the body and maintains lasting energy throughout the day<\/p>\n If you can get your kids to establish the habit of eating a good breakfast at a young age, it should stay with them as they get older.<\/p>\n Packing lunchbox:<\/strong> Put a little thought when packing the lunch box. Keep in mind their likes and dislikes and take them into consideration when packing their lunch. Finding a funny face sandwich in the lunch box is more likely to be eaten than the one without. Add love notes with some short and sweet messages along with food.<\/p>\n Make mealtimes about more than just food:<\/strong>\u00a0Having meal together helps\u00a0to\u00a0understand the importance of healthy food and gives you\u00a0family time. Eating together lets your kids see you eating healthy food while keeping your portions in check and limiting junk food.<\/p>\n
