In the day and age when kids thrive on burgers and
pizzas in school and at universities, at least in their childhood, most
parents want t feed their kids with healthy lunch,
breakfast and dinner! Of course, it is easier said than done because
most parents are working and cooking something at home every day, might
be challenging. But, having said that, it is not an impossible task.
fact, there are many healthy recipes and ways to cook that are easy and
kids will love them!
Going out for meals once in a while with your child
is a great idea but if you want to maintain a healthy diet, especially
for kids, there are many small things that you can do which will make a
huge impact: First and foremost thing to do is cut down on meals
outside. We all love burgers, cheese pizza, shakes etc. – especially the
kids. But try to have a control over the kids. May be once a week might
be a good idea but every day is definitely an unhealthy idea. Instill
the sense of “healthy living” in your child from the beginning itself.
Did you know that eating your meals together is a
great idea for some family time and research states that a home cooked
meal, if had together, is more healthy – physically and emotionally!
Parents can control the child`s food manners, intake etc. if they are
all together. Insist on the child having more veggies and salads during
meal time.
If your child is old enough (may be 5 and older),
involve them in some small tasks like mixing a bowl of salad or setting
up the dining table. This process will give you a chance to explain the kid about healthy food, healthy diet etc.
That's a nice blog.
