Health Tip: When Adults Offer Kids Food
By LadyLively on June 30, 2017
Well-meaning family and friends may push your children to clean the plate or offer dessert as a reward, but those aren’t the messages you want to send.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:
- Bring the subject up with the adult, explaining that you’re trying to teach your child about healthier eating.
- Suggest to the adult that the child be offered something else — such as a sweet note or a fun activity — that doesn’t involve food.
- Stay positive, encouraging kids to make healthier choices and avoid unwelcome food.
- Talk to older children about how to respond appropriately to offers of food.
