Healthy Eating Habits for Children

We should all be focusing on encouraging healtier eating habits in our children while they are young to prevent health problems associated with obesity and un-healthy eating. 

Dr. Newsom from Martin Army Community Hospital provided this list of snack items that might be healthier than the ones the children are eating. You, as parents can use this information to help your children make healthier choices, at home and at school.

Here are some websites that can provide additional information on healthy snacks.
