It’s important to have your child practice healthy mealtime practices early on. Here are some bad meal practices to avoid as your child is growing:
– Making poor meal plans for them.
– Having meals in front of the screen.
– Eating most meals away from home.
– Adding too many spices, sugars, or salts to their food.
– Eating mindlessly or not eating together with them.
– Eating on the run. It’s good practice to sit and eat.
– Giving them giant portion sizes, which increases the risk of choking.
– Not taking care of the number of calories they consume, or giving them too many liquid calories.
– Not eating enough throughout the day.
