Healthy eating


habits for your family You can help your children develop healthy eating habits by using these ideas.


Eating together Follow the healthy eating recommendation to help you eat together. Try to have meals together as a family as often as possible.


Getting everyone together for mealtime can be a challenge. There are many reasons why everyone might not be able to come together at mealtimes. This could include confl icting work schedules or after school activities. Even if some family members are not available, there are still benefi ts to eating with those who are.


Make time for healthy eating so that you and your kids are not rushed. Enjoy ‘family-style’ meals. In ‘family-style’ meals, food is put into larger bowls or serving dishes on the table. Family members then serve themselves based on their - hunger cues - food preferences.


This style of meal allows everyone to be involved, see everything that has been prepared, select what and how much they want. This may encourage kids to try new foods that they otherwise would have pushed aside.
