🎈 January is a great time to teach kids the imp 🎈 January is a great time to teach kids the importance of food, #nutrition, and healthful eating skills! To raise lifelong healthy eaters, two family habits go a long way to making all this happen: 1️⃣ #FamilyMeals help foster unity, improve nutrition and enhance academic success. TIP: If your family has a hectic schedule, add just one family meal to the schedule each week. 2️⃣ Get your kids involved in #Nutrition, have them choose new foods they want to try, including picking out a new fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruit or vegetable at the grocery store. TIP: Use these items to prepare a nutritious dish at home. #FNPHealthyLiving #NewYearsResolutionsWeek #EatHealthy #fruitsandveggies #fruits #vegetables #veggies #cookingwithkids #eatright #kidseatright
