Children's Tip: Model Good Nutrition

When it comes to nutrition, children learn largely by example. So try to eat a variety of low-sugar, high-fiber foods. Cook with less fat; try baking, roasting, or poaching, rather than frying. In addition, select cereals with low or no added sugar, and serve water, 100 percent juice, or low-fat milk at meals instead of sugary sodas.
