Tips for a Successful Family Meal

  • Plan family meals ahead of time using the family's schedule as a guide.
  • Involve children in meal planning and meal preparation.
  • Plan meals that include a variety of foods prepared in a simple way.
  • Introduce new foods, and eat them yourself. Parents have the biggest influence on a child's food habits.
  • Allow children to serve themselves family style. Children should be willing to at least taste every food, but never force a child to eat.
