How do you help your children
understand food and healthy eating?
"My daughter has a sticker chart and
one of the things on there is to try a
new food," says Marybeth Jordan.
"Keep them out of school. My girl
ate so much better until preschool,"
says Ma McCullough.
"When I put dinner on the table
and my kids say, 'I don't like that,' I
tell them to try one bite before they
say anything," says Lisa Betanzos.
"My daughter made her own
menu of favorite dishes. It really
showed the variety of main dishes,
sides and salad," said Michele Kogan.
