Kids and food: advice for parents
It is important for parents to know how to help their kids eat healthy. Here are a few easy ways:
Parents control the supply lines.
36 Though kids may keep asking for less (有營養(yǎng)的) foods,parents should decide
which foods are regularly provided in the house. Kids won’ t go hungry. They’ 11 eat what's available in the fridge at home.

Find better ways to say u\ love you/' When foods are used to reward kids and show love,they may start to turn to food when feeling worried or unhappy. 39
