Children often develop a natural preference for food they enjoy eating the most. So, the challenge is to make healthy choices appealing. No matter how good your intentions are, it is always going to be difficult for you to convince your child that fruits are as sweet as blueberry cheesecake. Children need a balanced diet with food from all 3 food groups—vegetables and fruit, whole grain products, and protein foods. Avoiding fast food restaurants shows your children the importance of enjoying mealtime as a family, while eating healthy home cooked meals. Happy Children’s Day.
