How to Teach Children About Healthy Eating, Without Food Shaming [View all]

THE GIST

Modeling healthy eating habits can help shape your kids’ eating behaviors and relationships with food.
Involve your children in food shopping and cooking from an early age to expose them to fruits and vegetables.
Having positive conversations about different eating lifestyles — like veganism, gluten-free or others — can teach kids not to feel shame around food.
Avoid using food as a reward, bribe or punishment.
Don’t focus on weight or dieting during conversations about healthy eating.
Occasionally incorporating less-than-healthy foods into meal plans is O.K. Don’t stress if your kids won’t eat certain things.

P.S. Since having grandkids, I've 'enrolled' them in a monthly 'fruit of the month' club, so they receive prime fruits monthly around the year, and they LOVE it!
