Junk Food
Everything in moderation is something we all hear and sometimes try to live by. Keeping kids from junk food entirely is not an easy thing to do but keeping it in moderation might be. Figuring out what moderation means is the difficult part. Start by keeping a limited amount of junk food in your house. Instead offer your child nutritious snacks such as fruit, cheese sticks or raw veggies after school. Keep mealtime junk-food free as well. There are plenty of opportunities for your children to have junk food in school, after-school activities and at their friend?s houses. The less you keep in your house, the closer to moderation you will keep them.
When you let your kids have fast food, obviously only do it once in a while, but also don't make a big deal out of it. If you don't get them excited about going to get fries and shakes, they won't be as likely to pester you about when the next time you can go will be.
