How Do You Teach Kids About Healthy Eating?
It can be a challenge to get your kids to make wiser choices in the foods they eat, when junk foods and fast foods are so popular and readily available. Many of the health problems suffered by adults spring from years of bad eating habits. If you can show your children better ways to eat, they will have a much higher chance of avoiding serious health issues, such as obesity and heart disease, in the future. Begin teaching your kids good eating habits when they are very young. If kids become used to healthy, nutritious snacks and drinks when they are toddlers, they will be more likely to make wise choices about what they eat as they get older. Go to the website Playnormous.com, a free online community for parents, teachers and kids that makes learning about good nutrition fun, instead of a task. You can find kid-friendly games that help teach kids about healthy eating habits and exercise. You can also find classroom activity ideas for teachers and guides, links and resources for parents
