Raising Kid’s Appetite
Happy Family
For some parents asking their kid to have nutritious meal is very distresses, you can help support your child’s healthy eating habits and physical activity level by:
* Eating together as a family as often as possible. Keep family meals pleasant and positive. Avoid making comments about the amount or type of food your child eats. Pressure to eat actually reduces children’s acceptance of new or different foods.
* Making healthy food choices for your family’s meals. Children notice the choices you make and follow your example.
* Setting limits on your child’s daily television and computer time. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a limit of 1 to 2 hours of screen time a day. Sit down with your child and plan out how he or she will use this time allowance.
* Making physical activity a part of your family’s daily life. Some ways to do this include walking your child to and from school, and teaching your child how to skip, hop, dance, playing catch, jump rope, and ride a bike.
* Taking a walk after dinner.
* Taking your child to all recommended well-child checkups. You can use this time to discuss your child’s growth rate, activity level, and eating habits with a doctor.
