Publisher: Columbian, 2005ISSN: 1522-323X;.Subject(s): Children -- Health and hygiene | Children -- Nutrition | Dietary guidelines | Food preferences | Parent and childDDC classification: 050 Summary: "It's a serious business, feeding children a steady menu of proper nutrients. But kids don't need to know that. The more lively and fun-spirited your approach to healthy eating, the less likely children are to go a la carte with empty calories and junk-food snacks. What's called for is a soupcon of imagination. Daub celery sticks with peanut butter, sprinkle raisins on top, and serve up Ants on a Log. Slice low-fat cheese slices into bite-sized letters that spell your toddler's name. Send kids on a scavenger hunt to discover odd-looking vegetables. The idea is to help kids associate nutritious meals and snacks with adventure rather than aggravation. And that can boost dining satisfaction for the entire household." (COLUMBIAN) The article reveals that because "children's eating habits are formed in infancy...if parents present very young children with healthy foods in an agreeable setting, 'they'll associate those (foods) with being well taken care of, and that's what they'll pick to eat.'"| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
