Good nutrition (营养)and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily .No matter how old your kids are , you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits .Here are some suggestions.

Family Meals

Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.

Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.

Stocking up (储备) on healthy food

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines — the food which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.

Being a good example

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.

No conflicts over food

Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy food in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are aske d to eat.

Get kids included

Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help them make good decisions on their own about the  food they want to eat.

The other day I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness. He had won some lollies(棒棒糖) in a prize machine in the local supermarket, so I asked him if he would like to   46   his prizes with another child. He hesitated(犹豫) for a while because he is a(n)   47   boy, but said yes after I   48   him a bit.

         A father and his daughter were   49  . I approached the father and asked if my son could give his   50   a lolly that he had won. The father looked at me in   51   and was unsure what to say. I   52   explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. Eventually he said it was okay.

           53  , his daughter, who was looking at us sideways(侧向一边地),   54   accept the lolly! At this moment, my son was rather embarrassed(尴尬) and then he   55   to me, “We go to the same   56  , Mum.”

         Rather than say sorry to my son for embarrassing him and give up this   57  , I put a couple of lollies into their shopping bags and   58   them a great day!

         When we left the supermarket, I   59   to my son, “People in the world today are not so open to   60   because their thoughts and opinions have been   61   by the past. However, we can reshape their opinions by   62   small acts of kindness. So don’t be embarrassed. Hey, they may have been standoffish(冷淡的), but I’m sure we left them   63  , moved and inspired in some way. Not only that,   64   the young girl will probably remember you as the boy with a   65   heart when she comes across you at school!”
