Children learn by example, and when it comes to healthy eating, your habits shape theirs. If they see you enjoying nutritious foods and making good choices, they’ll be more likely to follow your lead.

Why It Matters:

✔ Kids mimic parental behaviours—if you snack on fresh fruit instead of chocolate bars, they’ll notice.

✔ Healthy habits formed in childhood often last into adulthood, reducing future health risks.

✔ Mealtimes can become a fun, family bonding experience, strengthening relationships and encouraging good nutrition.

What You Need to Know:

✔ Involve your child in grocery shopping and meal prep—kids love having a say in what they eat.

✔ Avoid labelling foods as “good” or “bad” but instead focus on “more often foods” and “sometimes foods”.

✔ Make mealtimes distraction-free—turn off screens and enjoy meals together.

How to Implement Change

Today’s Challenge: Share one healthy habit with your child today—whether it’s eating fruit together, cooking a healthy meal together, or taking a walk as a family.

💬 Encouragement for Parents:

Your actions speak louder than words. By making small, positive choices, you’re building a foundation of health and well-being for your child. Keep up the great work!
