Five tips to teach your kids good eating habits!

It’s very important to teach your kids good eating habits. However, this can prove to be quite a challenge. These are our five tips to make dinner time more fun and teach your kids good eating habits in the process.

Be creative when feeding your child

Little kids are often very fussy about food. Make dinner time more fun with a children’s spoon shaped like an airplane. Pretend that the spoon is an actual airplane (including the noises!) when you’re feeding your kid, and they’ll eat it up like it’s candy.

Encourage your kids to set the table

When you encourage your kids to set their own place at the table it allows them to be involved with food in an approachable way. At the same time, your son or daughter is taught routine.

Go grocery shopping together

Kids will always enjoy going out with mum and dad. An added bonus of doing the grocery shopping together is that you can easily find out what your kids like to eat. You can also teach your kids what vegetables are, what fruit is and what’s healthy and unhealthy. A good opportunity for them to learn.

Eat on set times

Schedule set times for dinner and eat together with the family. When dinner time becomes a social occasion, your children will associate eating with fun. Before you know it they’ll be setting the table for you!
