Portion sizes that are suitable for kids can be surprisingly different from those you’d serve to an adult. With our simple health tips for kids, you can get them involved and be sure they’re getting just the right amount of fuel they need to grow.
Consider their age, size, and activity level when managing portion sizes. Younger children need smaller portions. Offer nutrient-dense foods for their growth and development.
Involve kids in meal planning and preparation to teach them about healthy choices and give them control over their meals. Encourage a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Promote a positive relationship with food. Encourage kids to eat when hungry and stop when full. Avoid using food as a reward or punishment.
Implementing these health tips ensures kids get the fuel they need to grow. Healthy eating habits in childhood have a lasting impact on well-being.
