How to make kids snack healthfully

Its parent responsibility to ensure that their children eat fewer calories when snacking by giving them more nutritious snacks such as veggies and cheese.

I am always confused about my kid's snacks.

He ate 1 chapati and One glass of milk in his breakfast. It is enough for he?

He like cheese very much, He ate at least 1 cheese slice in a day.
He likes all fruits.

Thanks for information.
Give more tips for kids healthy breakfast..

First parents should need to know what food is good and strength children and then they should need to know about the snacks and they should be home made only. So that their children health will be healthy

The information is very useful for parents as children should get enough nutrition for proper growth. I have seen people who have problems due to malnutrition.

Chips,fries and all kinds of junk food is what most children seem to snack on these days...Unless parents are careful, this continues to be habit even when they are grown up, I see parents buying dozens of packets of crisps and give just biscuits or bread and jam for lunch...

give vegitables and fruits more. avoid noodles and all. It is harm for health

Noodles by itself is not unhealthy since it is the staple diet of Chinese, Thai and many other far eastern people. When noodles are made with lots of vegetables ,meat, shrimps ,cheese and other healthy food stuff it becomes a very nutritious diet for children

give vegitables and fruits more. avoid noodles and all. It is harm for health

I too love salads with anything in it fruits,vegetables,sprouts...and of course tender coconut water and seasonal fruits...can eat any amount at any time of the day :)

Apart from the tiffin box daily one fruit should be sent to the school for the children, this way they will make a routine to have friuts

Snacks can be made healthy if we add oats and vegetables in it. Children mostly don'e prefer to eat them directly. It is better to make them eat it with some other food items which they like in taste and flavour.

Yes, snacking between meals is when parents opt for biscuits, crisps, farsaans etc for their children because I guess they do not want to keep cooking entire day. I have totally banned such stuff from my home, i never buy Maggie noodles, I make pasta only occasionally and put plenty of vegetables in it.

My opinion is that WE buy the food, not the kids, so they will grow to like what we buy for them. only thing we should keep working towards it and not just give in to the demands of the children! I have a rule with my son, eat everything that is served on the plate, only then he gets what he really wants. (sometimes I have to apply this rule for my husband too) :laugh:

I agree, it is important to make them develop a healthy eating habit right from the childhood....I did the same, making them eat what was cooked at home and eat out once a week or have some pastries or junk food once in a while....I agree that men are quite lax at times regarding following table rules LOL :laugh:

My husband does not like certain kind of vegetables but I still prepare them occasionally as I feel that my son should eat all kinds of vegetables as they are good for him. My husband used to resist eating them initially but I have strict instructions to him to eat them without complaining, because if he does, then my son is sure to pick up the habit. So my husband has to eat everything in silence and I ensure that I serve him bigger portions as he does not take second helpings of those! :laugh: :laugh:

LOL, that is a good idea Kalyani :) ...thankfully my husband loves vegetables a lot so no worries so do the children...But what I have to take care is fried stuff which all of them like,now it has been cut down to once a week which is OK..
