Keep healthy snacks on hand to help kids make good choices. Have more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Have fewer chips and sweets.
Teach kids to eat when they’re hungry, not when they’re bored, sad, or angry. Respect their ability to know when they feel full.
Breakfast helps jump-start the day. It provides fuel for an active lifestyle and gives you and your child the energy to think faster and more clearly.
Balance. Balance what you eat to meet your need for nutrition and enjoyment.
