Health Tip: If Your Child Chooses Unhealthy Foods
By LadyLively on September 3, 2015
If your child tends to prefer junk food over healthier fare, there are ways to break the habit.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advises:
- Don’t overdo restricting favored treats, as this can trigger over-indulging.
- If there’s a food you want your child to avoid, don’t keep it in the home.
- Have plenty of healthier food options available, such as fruit and vegetables.
- Continue offering healthier foods to your child; eventually, he or she may ask for them. Reward and praise your child for trying something new.
