Five Tips To Get Kids To Eat Healthier
By Mubarakah Ibrahim CPT, Fri Dec 9th

Five Tips To Get Kids to Eat Healthier By Mubarakah Ibrahim, CPT Dealing with an overweight child can be a very delicatesituation. We do not want to damage their self esteem by tellingthem they are fat or lazy, yet at the same time they must beconscious that they have to be more aware of their weight andeating habits for them to be healthy. Parents have a significantinfluence over the situation. Consequently most of the effortwill have to come from the parents. Try these tips for gettingkids to eat healthier. #1 Kids listen to what you do not whatyou say. Parents must be an example to their children. Childrenwatch you even when you don't know they are. If you are sittingin front of the TV with a bowl of ice cream and a bag of chipsyou are sending the wrong message to them. They don't know youhave PMS or you had a hard day or even you've been good on yourdiet for a month and this isn't so bad. They are seeing loungeand eat. Nothing more or less. Make a salad in the middle of theday and offer them some. Have a piece of fruit as you go out thedoor and give them permission to go grab themselves a piece totake with them. This changes the message to snack and snackhealthy. #2 Encourage healthier eating habits by cookinghealthier meals. You don't have to announce " we are all goingto eat healthier so we can loose weight". Cook a healthierrecipe that you think your family will like. When they complainor ask "what's this", simply tell them you thought you'd try anew recipe. Don't be disappointed or discouraged if they won'teat it, or don't like it. Simply offer them a peanut butter andjelly sandwich in its place. Most importantly do not go back acook again trying to give them what they want. When given achoice they will most likely choose their "regular" less healthymeal.

#3 Implement house rules that require healthy eating. If youhave a

child that loves juice tell them they can only have juiceif they drink and equivalent amount of water first. If you havea child that's use to grabbing a handful of cookies when theyget home. Instead of taking the cookies away , which is sure togive you a "health witch" title, Simply state "you can havecookies, after you eat a piece of fresh fruit first". This willnot only increase the amount of healthy foods and drink theyeat, but also fill them with whole foods which leaves less roomfor junk.

#4) Be like your mother. Remember when you had to eat all yourvegetables? Offer (healthier) desserts after dinner to thosethat eat their vegetable. You may be in a situation of one childhaving dessert and the other not, however that's great learningexperience for everyone, You get what you earn. Life lesson atthe dinner table. And no it's not unfair. Kids understandimmediate reward/punishment better than speeches. Keep thetalking to a minimum, state the rule then stick to it.


#5) Be firm and be consistent. Kids will push to test yourlimit. When you decide to implement a healthy habit stick to it.No matter how much a kid cries, whines, or sneaks (and theywill). Stay firm that this is the rule. Discuss the rule withyou're your spouse so you can have a united front. If yourchildren are use to free range in the kitchen, and eatingwhatever they want implementing all these tips at once will beto drastic a change for them. Try implementing one rule a weekor even every two week. Remember health eating is a process andslow and steady wins the race. Not only will the new "houserules" be a change for your children but it will be a change foryou as well, requiring more monitoring and more planning (makinghealthy snacks and ingredients always available).
