I don't know about you but sometimes it can be a challenge to get the healthy nutrients from Earth's goodness into my child's belly…
Remember that we set the standard, our children idolize us, WE are the example, so if Mommy and Daddy are eating clean, child will most likely follow suit. Knowledge is power..explain WHY these foods are so "magical" for our tummy.
Here are some helpful tips to get your kid(s) EXCITED about eating healthy foods...
"There's a party in my Tummy, So Yummy, So Yummy"...We like to make it a song or game…Yo Gabba Gabba's song, pick up broccoli and have it go to the party...
Make it a competition>> Who can chomp up the broccoli first?
We pretend that our daughters eyes are GLOWING when she eats her veggies!! My grandma used to do this for me and I remember believing how magical broccoli is! Kids LOVE GAMES!
There are also creative ways to help sneak in those important vitamins, we make Quiche with veggies hidden inside and a household staple is HEALTHY ICE CREAM! *Type in Search engine to find Recipe!* The best part about this famous ice cream is that my kids have no idea how beneficial it is, loaded with protein, amino acids, vitamins, and fiber…Whatever you do, don't give up! Your child's health depends on you! :)
