TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT EATING HEALTHY - IT WORKS!
http://www.nahec.org/KidsPoll
Recent KidsPoll underscores the importance of regular family talks to improve
your child’s nutrition.
Milwaukee, WI, and Wilmington, DE
June 9, 2005
Parents across the U.S. will agree that getting their kids to eat more fruits
and vegetables can be a real challenge. So what works? A recent KidsHealth®
KidsPoll asked kids, ages 9-13, to share their habits and attitudes about eating
healthy. The survey showed that kids who talk with their families on a weekly or
monthly basis about eating healthy consume more fruits and vegetables, drink
more water, and have a greater intention to eat healthy foods. Talking to your
kids about eating healthy does work:
* 73% of kids who said their family talks to them monthly about eating healthy,
and 66% who said their family talks to them about eating healthy weekly,
reported that they try to eat healthy “most” or “all the time.”
* 51% of kids who said their family talks to them weekly about eating healthy,
and 43% who said their family talks to them about eating healthy monthly,
reported that yesterday they ate 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables.
* Of the kids who spoke with their family weekly about eating healthy, the
majority (30%) ranked “water” as their first choice for a beverage over soda,
sports drinks, fruit juice, and milk.
