Parents should encourage kids to eat healthy! Parents should encourage kids to eat healthy. I feel that parents should feed kids healthy food but because kids know it is healthy so they protest and then parents give up. It doesn’t help that all the unhealthy food in shops is brightly labelled and cheep so it stands out to buy. Parents also don’t guide kids to eat healthy food and give up when kids say ‘NO!’, most of all kids get fat watching parents eat fatty food. The case of ‘monkey see! Monkey do!’. Firstly parents should encourage kids to eat healthy. All parents feel the struggle to get kids to eat healthy because they know that your common healthy food like fruit and veg. is ether boring or does not taste nice to them. I believe and know that there are hundreds to thousands of recipes that are healthy and you wouldn’t even know. Parents should use some of these recipes and sit at the dinner table with the kid and eat the dish, if the kid refuses to eat it or even try it the parent needs to enforce that if they don’t eat it now, they will eat it later if they are hungry. Use a great thing calls ‘Tough Love!’ and eventually they will understand if they don’t eat the food they will be very hungry later on. If the kid still refuses to eat the healthy food, sit them at the dinner table and don’t let them leave until the food is gone. Parents should encourage kids to eat healthy. When going to the shops to get the food to make the healthy meal, there is a challenge between price and labels and price. Made by
