Eating at School
When a child begins school or preschool, parents lose some control over what their child eats. School nutrition and canteen policy, teachers and friends can all have an impact on a child’s food choices. Parents can reinforce messages of healthy eating by giving their child healthy snacks and lunches.
Some techniques that can help steer your child to healthy food choices include:
- Consult with your child before preparing their lunch.
- Do not encourage your child to add unnecessary salt or sugar to foods or drinks.
- Try to choose treats that also have some nutritional value, e.g. homemade plain popcorn rather than crisps, low fat yoghurt rather than high fat biscuits.
- Do not reward children with treats as this will increase the desire for them.
- Encourage children to regard exotic fruit like mangoes, strawberries or cherries as a treat.
- Ask your child to help prepare some of their favorite foods for their own lunch.
