How to raise kids in junk free home

By Apurva P

1

Make healthy snacks accessible

Foster a junk food-free environment by making healthy options readily available at your home. Stock the pantry with a variety of nutrient-rich foods.

2

Educate your children

Teach children about balanced diets, nutritional values, and the drawbacks of fast food.

3

Involve them in meal planning

Involve kids in meal planning, preparation, and in selecting fresh ingredients to encourage healthier eating habits in them.

4

Limit fast food

Restrict fast food consumption to occasional treat. However, avoid using it as a reward. Find non-food incentives to celebrate achievements. 

5

Lead by example

Set a positive example by adopting healthy eating habits yourself as a parent, as children often imitate their parents' dietary preferences.
