Children aren't always the biggest fans of vegetables & somtimes fruit right? We all know that both are essential for good health. However even when we struggle ourselves we want the best for our kids. So wouldn't it be really awesome to get them engaged in a healthier lifestyle?
Provide fruit as snacks. Children may not want it at first but when they know it's the only option then they will tow the line. Utilising lunch boxes is essential. If there is no chocolate in there, then they will soon learn that it's just the way it is. Be strong because even if you feel guilty you can be happy in the knowledge that you are doing for something great for them.
The other tip is, be a role model. Yes it's challenging but children do what we do, they don't always do what we say. It's something you can build into your life together. Also fruit picking days out is a great way to make it fun.
Ryan & Ethan as new born twins and beyond were fairly sickly having both had conditions shortly after birth. This carried on for quite a while, sick every month but at 3 years of age they were introduced to the superfood fruit and veg chewables and that was when things started to change for the better. They are now 13 years old and their health is fantastic and they love their fruit & veg. Couldn't be happier to have introduced these into thier diets over 10 years ago. Now that they're teens they're moving onto the capsules.
Devon used to find it hard to go to the toilet when he was a younger, we'd tried so many different things to help him but nothing really worked that well. He then started using our fruit and veg chewables and things are so much better. Over the years this has also adapted his palette and he now craves more fruit and veg in his diet and his toilet problems have gone, safe to say Dev loves his chews & as parents we do too.
