A national study shows that more and more children are dealing with obesity. The growing number of children with poor nutrition is astounding. Fish and chips, hotdogs, and French fries were among the top food choices for children. So how do we excite them to eat more healthy?
The first move forward is to make absolute they eat what is cooked. If you are serving a food dish they don't care for, they can have the pick of eating it or not having it. This could be really difficult at first and may start a big fight. When introducing new foods that you think your kids won't like, also serve something delicious that you know they will eat. This can help eliminate the problem of them "starving to death".
Once your children know that they need to attempt new foods, it allows you to commence experimenting. For our family, I found a recipe book that had 36 weeks of recipes. The first time we used the book, each family member rated the dinner item. I placed a star by the recipe for each family member that liked the food. Now when we go over the book, if an item has fewer than 3 or 4 stars, I skip this meal.
understand recipes that supply excellent nutrition - legumes, vegetables, fruits. We all remember the food pyramid from our days of school. If your children are eating school lunch, they are getting one good nutritious meal. You may follow their food guidelines when planning your own meals. Keep the monthly calendar with the meals the school has planned, and follow them for dinner (in a different month).
Introduce foods that you know your children didn't delight in before, and have them attempt one bite. Kid's taste buds vary through time, and something they hated before they might really like now.
At the end of the day, children will eventually eat the foods that are the majority of the time put in front of them, but forcing them is not the answer.
