Letting Kids Help Is Key To Getting Kids To Eat More Veggies

Mom – Joanna Mazewski

Carolyn Sutter, a postdoctoral research associate with the U. of I.’s Family Resiliency Center and the lead author of the study believes that if kids help out in in the kitchen, there’s a good chance that they will eat more of their vegetables throughout the day. As a matter of fact, kids who make their own school lunches tend to have healthier ones, too. Nutrition guidelines suggest that kids should get at least one to two cups of vegetables per day, while older kids should get between two to four. https://www.moms.com/get-kids-eat-more-veggies/
