Sometimes saying “Broccoli is good for you!” just isn’t enough. Navigating nutrition as an adult can be challenging with so many convenient temptations dangling in front of us. So how can we expect our kids not to get caught up in similar marketing traps? Healthy Eating for Kids will focus on childhood nutrition, healthy eating habits, and ways to lay a foundation for a future of healthy choices.
