"Oh no! Rita is again down with fever and had a severe spasm last night", was what a friend of mine told the other day, this is a common problem citied in most of the houses where the kids are totally on junk or cooked food. Now a day's kids are more prone to have unhealthy eating habits as parents themselves are least concerned about it and try to find an easy way out.
As a result kids tend to be more fussy and stubborn about what they eat and do not indulge into eating any type of healthy food, which they actually should be eating. The level of success of improving your child's diet depends a lot on the parent's confidence and persistence.
No child will willingly opt for raw veggies or fruits if an option like chips or pasta is given to him, it is the parent's conscious efforts to convince the child to enjoy the raw food and how beneficial it would be for him. For achieving this goal we as parents have to be convinced, because if we are ambivalent about making healthy changes in our lifestyle, we cannot expect our children do accept it readily.
The positive effect that diet has on the behavior, mental and physical conditions is unbelievable. After all it is we, who have to pave the way towards improving our children's quality and quantity of life.
