-
Shop together. Your kids will learn a lot about the cooking process if they are there at the beginning. Show them what to buy and what to avoid, and give them an idea of pricing as well.
-
Make meals for everyone. It's sometimes easier to make separate meals for kids and adults. Save yourself some time and show your kids that eating healthy can also be delicious by sharing family meals.
-
Live by the same rules that you set. If you are going to make your kids eat healthily, you need to follow the same rules. Your kids will have no respect for the rules if you don't abide by them as well.
-
Get outside! Screen time is one of the worst habits that you can get your kids into. When the weather is appropriate, get them outside! Bring them to the park or an outside event, or set them up in the yard.
-
Make mealtime fun. Sitting your entire family down for dinner every night can get repetitive. Find something to make it fun! Themed meals or cooking together can bring enjoyment to everyone.
-
Drink less sugar. Even though we spend a lot of time trying to avoid sugars, it's impossible to stay away from altogether. One easy way to cut sugar is to avoid sugary drinks. Make sure to read the labels on all of the juices, sports drinks, and all other non-water beverages that you serve your kids.
