Nutrition Tips for Parents for Improving their Children's Eating Habits

  • Follow Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide, it provides parents with an excellent nutritional guideline for their children. It's also one way to ensure your child meets the daily-recommended intake of key micronutrients.
  • Involve your children in food selection - Children are more likely to eat things they select. Involving children in the selection process is a way to discourage unhealthy snacking.
  • Stay away from fast food - Fast food has little nutritional value, and can be dangerously high in fat. Do your best to avoid fast food, and certainly do not allow it to become a staple of your diet.
  • Limit sugary snacks - Many snacks available to children after school and in lunches are extremely high in sugar and can have a profound impact on weight gain. Offer children healthy snacks such as raisins, nuts or fruit instead.
