We’re a few weeks into the new year now – are you still sticking to your healthy eating resolutions? Sticking to a healthy eating plan can be difficult (those cookies in the pantry look too delicious!) but it’s so important for overall health. Although I don’t always make the healthiest diet choices for myself, I make sure that my son eats a balanced diet high in vegetables and fruit. I know it’s important for me to set a good example for him so I’m working on my snack choices too.
Free Healthy Choices Printable:
To help encourage kids to make healthier choices, we have a free Healthy Choices printable for them to use. This simple printable tracks their healthy choices throughout the week like:
- eating fruit
- eating vegetables
- drinking water
- exercise
Your child can write his or her name on the bottom of the form along with a date for the week (example, Week: starting January 18, 2016). Across the top of the free printable you’ll see the days of the week. Display this printable in a place that’s easy for your child to see & reach. We have ours on the fridge.
Tracking healthy choices is simple. You can use a marker to check off every time your child makes a healthy choice throughout the day. For example, each time your child eats a piece of fruit during the day, they can make a checkmark on the chart. If you can find small stickers, you can use stickers instead of a pen.
You can offer a reward at the end of each week if you’d like. It’s extra motivation for your child to make healthier choices every day.
Cold and Flu Giveaway:
Making healthy choices can also reduce your chances of catching a cold or flu this year. No one wants to miss out on special family vacations, birthday parties, or special events at school because they are sick!
