Monday Message - New Year

Ring in a healthy new year by teaching kids the importance of food, nutrition and eating skills to fuel busy, successful lives.



A few tips.....
  • Serve regular, balanced meals and snacks with a variety of nutrient-rich foods
  • Provide calm, pleasant meal times where adults and children can talk together
  • Allow children to use their internal signals to decide how much and what to eat
  • Explore a variety of flavors and foods from different cultures and cuisines
  • Share an appreciation for healthful food, lovingly prepared and shared with others
  • Make simple food safety, like washing hands, part of every eating occasion. Teach basic skills for making positive food choices away from home.
  • Find credible food and nutrition resources when you don't know the answer.
