Parents influence whether children eat fruits, vegetables

 Most children learn to like and eat vegetables before age 5 years.

Most children learn their eating habits directly from their parents plate.

NOW is the time. 

A few important tips:

1) Children who SEE their parents eating fruits and vegetables are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables.

2) If you dont buy sodas and sugar drinks, there will be none available!

This sounds simple, but it is is a common area of weakness.

3) Make each fruit and vegetable FUN: What’s the colour? Is it cooked or raw.

See which style of preparation your child prefers and encourage them to experiment.

4) Make each plate colourful.
