No matter what their age, it’s never too late to help your kids develop healthy mealtime habits. Offering a variety of foods helps kids develop more flexible preferences. If you have a picky eater, start by incorporating new items alongside things your children are already eating. If you are concerned that your child may have an unhealthy habit, such as avoiding protein regularly or overeating candy, be sure to avoid talking about food as if it is “good” or “bad.” Instead, you can validate their likes and ensure them those things will be incorporated into their overall intake. Parents can help kids talk through how it feels to eat too much and help them discover how to eat to satisfaction without discomfort, as another example. There are great resources available today such as Jennifer Anderson’s “Kids Eat In Color” resources. |

Keeping the whole family moving during the winter months can yield significant benefits. Take a cue from your kids and play! Ice skating and sledding are forms of movement that are sure to be fun so don’t write them off as physical activity. Bundle up and apply sunscreen and you’ll benefit from any Vitamin D you might get from the sun. Not anywhere quite this cold? Now is the perfect time to partake in activities that are usually held indoors such as dance or basketball. In addition, city recreational leagues are typically fun, inexpensive and don’t require a huge commitment. Facilities such as the YMCA offer activities for adults and kids simultaneously, which means everyone can get moving! |

The holidays are meant to be a special time of year. Oftentimes, though, the added undertakings from travel to hosting, can become overwhelming. Luckily, food does not have to be one of the added stressors. Start by focusing on other aspects of the holidays apart from food. This will help reinforce balanced eating that we strive for on any typical day. Ultimately, we can avoid things like skipping meals for fear of overeating later. Set yourself up for success by remembering that enjoying and savoring special meals is a part of culture and tradition that is meant to be enjoyed. In addition, you have the right to either enjoy seconds or say, “no thank you” if you are full. Afterall, leftovers are the best! |
