Feeding kids

-

There are secrets to feeding children. Here are some tips: 1. Make it a routine. Offer your kids healthy meals and snacks at scheduled times throughout the day. 2. Make food the focus. Turn off the TV and put away toys during meal time. Children eat better without these distractio­ns. 3. Don’t force-feed. Let your kids decide how much they want to eat. 4. Lead by example. Your children are more likely to try new foods if you eat them too. 5. Build a healthy meal using the Eat Well Plate. It’s available at http://www.healthycan­adians.gc.ca.
