Try This!
Meal plan for each week and let your child help you pick out fruits and vegetables for each day. When they ask for something that is full of sugar, ask them what they can have instead that is healthier…offer suggestions like ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and raisins) or ice cream made with frozen bananas (peel and freeze bananas, and blend with milk or yogurt until the consistency of ice cream). Consider having a “no sugar day.”
