How To Make Your Kids Eat Healthy?

With the emerging of many options of unhealthy food, and the high quantity of advertisements on unhealthy food, it’s becoming more difficult to convince your kid to eat healthy, so here are 5 tips that Daffodilsbarari recommends, for your kid to eat healthy :

1. Introduce new foods slowly. Children are always afraid to try new things by nature. You can give them examples of their superheroes eating the food you’re convincing them to eat, this will help.

2. Make them cook with you. if your kid gets involved in cooking or preparing meals, they will be more interested in eating them, even if they get involved in small things like putting vegetables in the plate, or arranging fruits in the plates, this will make them feel that they prepared the meal they are eating.

3. Give them treats. Having healthy food every day will make them feel bored and hating it, so you need to give them treats on occasions, or even once a week, this will allow them to have a break from healthy food, and make them organize their food habits.
