Health Tip: Let Kids Learn in the Kitchen
By LadyLively on July 8, 2015
Many children don’t like fruit and veggies, but that shouldn’t stop kids from eating healthy.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends:
- Let your child go to the grocery store and shop for produce with you. The child should choose fruit and veggies that look appealing.
- Create fun challenges while shopping. Have your child pick out produce of different colors.
- Give young children cookbooks and let them look through pictures to choose a meal that looks good. Older children can help with cooking and preparation.
- Talk to your child about how he or she wants to prepare the produce bought at the store.
- Let your child help as much as possible, from rinsing produce to tearing lettuce and cooking food.
