Instill good nutritional habits in your children
Michigan State University Extension advises parents to model healthy eating to children. Begin early with variety, whole grains, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Repetition helps, avoid bribery, limit fat and sweets, and prepare meals with moderate fats. Offer wholesome options at meals and snacks, and serve smaller portions appropriate for children.
