School-aged children continue their slow and steady growth. At this age they tend to prefer snacks rather than proper meals. It is important to try and give them a balanced diet plan as much as you can. Try to stick to freshly prepared food as much as possible. Make snacks which are healthy rather than having food from outside. Children are experimental about food at this age and will try to eat new foods. They will also try to copy eating patterns of other kids around them. Take some time out to make tasty food for them to avoid your children picking up wrong eating habits.It would be a good idea to involve them while cooking or preparing their school snack box. Even in school, try and get them used to having food as per a balanced diet plan and avoid giving packaged and processed foods.
