I know of parents who are in constant battle with their children when it comes to meal times. There are some who even resort to bribing their kids to eat regularly. We modern parents like to do things in a hurry including food preparation and getting our kids to eat fast – I’m guilty of that too. But I am not sure about parents promising their kids expensive toys like playstation 3 or nintendo games just so that they will obey!
Do educate your children about what healthy meals can do for them? Show them that junk food should not replace their regular meals by not eating junk yourself during examples. Children learn by examples so if you set a good example on healthy eating, they should soon follow. After all, who is the one who stocks up bags of chips and crackers from the supermarket?
