Children will develop good eating habits when they are offered a balanced diet. Remember to introduce foods multiple times. Children can require 7-10 interactions with a particular food before they are willing to taste it.

Be visible in the child’s life. Attend your child’s school and community events, and volunteer to assist in activities your child enjoys. Have fun together outside the home.
