Recent research shows that 58% of 8 year olds can't identify pictures of basic fruits and vegetables such as melon, sweetcorn and cauliflower. As our hectic lifestyles allow less and less time for cooking and feeding our children, and there's so much junk food winking attractively at us from supermarket shelves, our children's health is suffering. In fact, children had a better diet in the 1950s. In HEALTHY FOOD FOR HAPPY KIDS, Suzannah Olivier answers all parents' questions on feeding their children and offers hundreds of ways to make good nutrition fun. In an accessible A-Z format, Suzannah answers such questions as 'What can I do about my fussy child?' , 'I don't have time to cook every day, how can I feed my child healthily?', 'Is my child's behaviour related to his diet?' and 'Can my child's allergy be helped with food?' She also includes invaluable charts to help parents with the nutrition minefield: lunchbox planners; healthy picnic and barbecue ideas; and ten healthy home versions of fast food - even burgers! HEALTHY FOOD FOR HAPPY KIDS will help every parent address the eternal headache of feeding their child well.
Healthy Foods for Happy Kids
This site offers lots of practical everyday tips, easy serving suggestions, answers to common questions, ideas to involve kids in celebrating healthy food.
Kids are happy for all sorts of reasons - an acorn, a shiny pair of shoes, a hug. But food can also make children happy - and we are not talking about being triumphant in a tug-of-nags about crisps here! Here's how healthy food makes happy kids:
Happy Kids:
have lots of energy
are able to concentrate
have good teeth
sleep well
are less prone to allergies and eczema
enjoy their food
And never forget... Happy Kids make for Happy Parents!
Parents, carers and teachers no longer ask Why? children need healthy food, but How?
'How can I encourage my fussy child to eat?'
'How can I persuade my child to eat vegetables?'
'How do I plan a varied diet when I have little time?'
