Information for Parents

Family Preparing DinnerParents are the first and the most important influence in shaping childrens’ eating habits from infancy onward. It is important that parents eat healthy too, so children can see that healthy eating matters at home and can be delicious and fun. Learning about how to eat well and having positive attitudes towards healthy eating are also very important. Parents can be good role models by making healthy food choices available at home, encouraging their consumption, and by sending healthy foods for school snacks and lunches.
