The Christian Science Monitor wrote this week about healthy snacks for kids. It’s pretty common-sense stuff, but has a few recipe suggestions if you’re at a loss for ideas. One thing the article doesn’t mention, however, is what I consider the most important factor in establishing kids’ eating habits: a good example. Kids who see their parents eating junk will be more likely to eat it themselves, especially if the pantry is full of cookies and the fridge full of soda. Of course, if your family eats healthily most of the time, it can be even more fun–and bonding, too–when you once in a while indulge together in a batch of double-fudge brownies.
