Kid-Friendly Food: Nutrition for Children
March is Nutrition Month!
Children can be picky eaters, but it is important to establish healthy eating habits at an early age. What you buy and what you serve at mealtimes influences the kinds of foods children end up eating later in life.
Children need nourishing food to help them perform better at school and provide the energy they need to carry out their daily activities.
Canada's Food Guide for children from Health Canada provides recommendations and suggestions for portion size and nutritious foods including snacks.
Having trouble getting your kids to eat vegetables? The Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sports provides some suggestions in Help! My Kids Won't Eat Enough Vegetables and Fruits.
March break is right around the corner. Why not let the kids cook! For some healthy, fun and kid-tested recipes go to KidsHealth — Recipes for Kids or Recipes for Kids from toronto4kids.
Check out the Library's recent books about children's nutrition for more information and recipes. To see which branch has a copy of the book and to place a hold, click on the cover or title link;

It makes very delightful when I visit to your blog. Searching for some more good Information.
Only vegetable my kid is eating is potato (which we make into french fry) other than that he won’t even touch anything new to him.
Vegetables and fruits are the right foods for kids. Some moms are creative in preparing to make it looks delicious, and also in taste.
