What To Do To Support Kid`s Healthy Eating and Activity

For some parents asking their kid to have nutritious meal can be very distressed. Here are some tips that I collect from some articles on supporting our child’s healthy eating habits and physical activity.

  • Eating together as a family as often as possible. Keep family meal time pleasant and positive. Avoid making comments about the amount or type of food our children takes. Pressure to eat actually reduces children’s acceptance of new or different food.
  • Making healthy food choices for our family’s meals. Children notice the choices we make and follow our example.
  • Setting limits on our 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 our child and plan out how he or she will use this time allowance.

  • Making physical activity a part of our family’s daily life. Some ways to do this includes walking our child to and from school, and teaching them how to skip, hop, dance, playing catch, jump rope, and ride a bike.
  • Taking our child to all recommended well-child checkups. We can use this time to discuss our child’s growth rate, activity level, and eating habits with a doctor.
