Healthy Eating for Children

Dear parents,

 

For young children, eating healthy food is not as easy as you may think. What they want - cookies, sodas, French fries, lollipops, fast junk food - is the easy option. Getting them to eat healthier can be difficult, and takes time but worth it. Starting early with a variety of good food is the best way, fruit and vegetables are very important in a family diet. Also school meals must promote healthy eating.

Last week Ponies learnt about food, fruit, vegetables and some differences between them. Children realized what kind of food they eat every day during the break time, at home and, how important is to eat healthy food in first place.

 

Today, Ponies made a delicious fruit salad. Everybody wants to peel, cut and mix the fruit, some children eat it with yogurt and others with cereals, but they really loved the activity. Hope you can do it again at home.

Always remember “Good healthy nutrition is the foundation for good behaviour”

Thanks a lot for your cooperation !!! :)
