Feeding Kids

Kids, who don’t have a regular diet of sweet things, really don’t develop a sweet tooth. This I have also seen many times. We never had sweet biscuits inrepparttar house when our kids were young. Now at 20 and 18, they just don’t eat sweet biscuits, well except for a very occasional chocolate biscuit. They used to feel insulted as small children when they went out and all that was offered torepparttar 110152 children was cordial and biscuits. I couldn’t countrepparttar 110153 number of times they came to me when we were out and said “Mum, but there’s nothing to eat".

I know kids who don’t like chocolate, as it has never been a part of their diet, or won’t drink frizzy drinks, as they just haven’t had them offered to them at home.

It is important thing to give your child choices, but you can decide what those choices are. Offer them good wholesome food.

Have lots of fresh fruit available. Dried fruits are also very popular with kids. Vegetable sticks are great, give them something to dip them in, like peanut butter and it makes them more interesting. Freshly popped popcorn is always fun and popular. There are many snacks available that are healthy and tasty that your kids will enjoy.

Take time to enjoy your eating time with your family. Teach your childrenrepparttar 110154 pleasures of good food andrepparttar 110155 fun you can share together in preparation for a meal. Make it an experience.
