5
Tips
for
Building
Healthy
Ea@ng
Habits
from
an
Early
Age


1‐Parents
control
the
op:ons.
You
decide
which
foods
to
buy
and
when
to
serve
them.
Of
course
children
will
ask
their
parents
for
less
nutri:ous
foods,

however
adults
are
in
charge
of
which
foods
come
into
the
home.


2‐As
children
grow
up
it
is
important
to
allow
them
more
freedom
of
choice.

Ask
them
to

come
up
with
some
ideas
for
a
meal
and
snack
and
discuss
the
choices
together.
This
teaches
your
children
to
make
good
choices
on
their
own;
it
prepares

them
for
the
“real
world”
where
the
choices
are
limitless.

3‐
Allow
children
to
stop
ea:ng
when
they
feel
they
have
eaten
enough.

Many
of
today’s
adults

grew
up
abiding
by
the
clean‐plate
rule.
This
approach
does
not
help
children
listen
to
their
internal
cues
for
hunger
and
sa:ety.
When
children
no:ce
and

respond
to
their
feelings
of
fullness,
they
are
less
likely
to
overeat
and
become
overweight.

4‐
Food
preferences
are
developed
early
in
life,
so
it
is
important

to
offer
a
wide
variety
of
foods.
At
home,
you
may
need
to
serve
a
new
food
several
:mes
for
a
child
to
accept
it
(as
it
becomes
familiar).


5‐Food
is
not
a

reward.

When
foods
are
used
to
reward
children
or
to
show
affec:on,
they
will
begin
using
food
to
deal
with
stress
or
other
emo:ons.
