There are many healthy diet habits for kids that will help them to develop a healthy relationship with food. We live in a world full of overweight and obese(肥胖的) children, many of whom will go on to become obese adults. We care for our children’s health, and should also care about our children’s eating habits. Here are a few eating habits that we can model and teach our kids.
Respect(尊重) your kids: We are all different! We should not force our kids to eat foods they dislike, because there are so many healthy foods.
Eating without distraction: Mindless eating leads to overeating. We can teach our kids to eat at the table, not in front of the television, and not with a big bag of potato chips or cookies!
The half plate rule: This rule states that half of your plate should be full of fruits, salads and vegetables. Let them choose the salads, and fun vegetables that they would love to try!
The 20-minute rule: This rule says it takes 20 minutes to know that your stomach is full, so we need to eat slowly. Dinner should be a family time of sharing, not just a rush to the next television marathon(马拉松).
Of course there are many other healthy eating habits for our kids. But no matter what the rules are, moms are the gatekeeper of the family food, and our kids will model our eating habits! Let’s make sure we are teaching our kids great food habits!
