What to give

Many food habits, likes and dislikes are established during this time. New friends at school and advertisements in the mwdia may influence their food habits. My son comes and demands food that he sees in his classmates’ lunch boxes because he finds it more exciting than what we offer. Children this age are often willing to eat a wider variety of foods than they would have a couple of years earlier. Use that to your advantage and offer new foods more often. Eating healthy after-school snacks are important, as these snacks may contribute up to one-third of the total calorie intake for the day.
