We know that eating fresh produce is essential to good health.  Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, which help protect the body from disease, boost the immune system and fight harmful bacteria. Children need to eat every three to four hours: three meals, two snacks, and lots of fluids. If you plan for these, your child’s diet will be much more balanced and he’ll be less cranky, because he won’t be famished. If your out with your kids, keep your cooler stocked with carrots, pretzels, yogurt, and water so you won’t rely on fast food. 

By far the best predictor of a child’s eating behavior is the eating patterns of her parents. If vegetables and healthy foods are relegated to an afterthought in your household, it’s tough to expect your kids to take to them. Kids eat what they know, and they won’t ask for a special meal if they do not know it is an option. A good dinner doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should be balanced: whole-grain bread, rice, or pasta; a fruit or a vegetable; and a protein source like lean meat, cheese, or beans.
