5 ways to develop healthy eating habits during childhood

Apart from this, try not to use food either to punish or reward the child. It is, also, important to pay attention to the portion size and ingredients. Encourage them to eat slowly and give them time to register fullness. Ensure that the child’s meals outside the home are balanced.

Make mealtimes pleasant with conversation and sharing and avoid arguments or scolding at this time as it will then be associated with stress. Also, make a wide variety of healthy foods available at home , this will help children to make healthy food choices.
