Nurturing a Healthy Eater
As parents, our goal is to help our children grow up with positive eating attitudes and behaviours, such as:
- Feeling good about food and eating.
- Knowing how much to eat because they trust their internal signals for hunger and fullness.
- Gradually learning table manners so that others can enjoy their meal too.
- Learning to take on more responsibility for food selection and preparation.
It takes time and effort to raise a healthy eater but the rewards are great. Our efforts in guiding our children lay the foundation for their future health.
