HOW TO GET CHILDREN TO EAT A HEALTHIER DIET

■ Explain the benefits of eating more healthily. This should be in terms that your children can understand and directly relate to, e.g. having more energy to play football; feeling more refreshed in the morning.
■ Put children in control of some of their food choices, e.g. allow them to choose which vegetables to eat; let them suggest a new meal.
■ Make some realistic goals (e.g. to eat two pieces of fruit a day; to try a new vegetable; to replace crisps with an apple or a handful of nuts).
■ Set up a reward system, e.g. award a star or sticker for each healthy eating behaviour. When, for example, 10 stars have been earned, choose a reward (preferably non-food, such as a new toy or a special trip) that
has been agreed upon in advance.
■ Increase the range of foods in your family’s repertoire – try new recipes and offer new snacks
