NUTRITION: Most kids like fast foods. Explain to your son the importance of eaing veggies and fruits by giving a good example.His laboratory will show increased lipids with much meat intake.

Offer Variety: Kids often need to try a food several times before they tolerate it and even like it. Offering a variety of foods at meals allows them to experience seeing new food and then tasting new foods. Sometimes, they enjoy eating off an adult's plate. A different appearance can help them get used to the taste (in a smoothie or dipped in ranch for example). Be patient and persistent!
