Growing Healthy Kids
Eating well during the early years is key for a healthy start to life. Children
grow fast, which means infants, toddlers, and preschoolers all have different and
unique needs. It’s important to understand and prepare for the different stages
of change in feeding.
Parenting for a Healthy Lifestyle
When it comes to eating, parents play an important role in what, when, and how often
children eat. Children get to decide how much they want to eat. Parents have other
responsibilities too, to help children develop a healthy lifestyle long term.
Healthy Weight Healthy Kids
As a parent, it’s your job to help your child reach and stay at a healthy weight.
A healthy weight is all about balancing energy needs with the energy kids eat.
Right Size Portions
All foods have proper portions—sizes that are “right” for each type of food. To
help you picture right portion sizes, compare foods to common household items.
