HOW TO ENCOURAGE YOUR KIDS TO EAT MORE FRUITS

Here are some tips to encourage kids to eat more fruits:

1. Lead by Example: Children often mimic what they see. If they see you enjoying fruits, they are more likely to follow suit.
2. Make it Fun: Get creative with presentation. Cut fruits into fun shapes or create colorful fruit skewers.
3. Involve Them: Take your kids grocery shopping and let them pick out fruits they want to try. Involving them in the selection process can make them more excited to eat them.
4. Blend Them In: Sneak fruits into smoothies or blend them into sauces or yogurt. This way, they’re getting the nutrients without necessarily noticing the fruit’s texture.
5. Offer Variety: Introduce a variety of fruits to expand their palate. Include fresh, frozen, dried, and canned fruits to keep things interesting.
6. Set a Schedule: Incorporate fruits into regular meal times and snacks. Consistency helps normalize fruit consumption.
7. Get Creative with Snacks: Replace less healthy snacks with fruits. Keep a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter for easy access.
8. Educate Them: Teach kids about the benefits of fruits for their health. Explain how fruits provide essential vitamins and nutrients that help them grow strong and stay healthy.
