One of the best ways you can steer your child toward healthy eating habits is to practice them yourself. Yes, you can have your evening snack if you like, but make sure that most of what you eat in front of your child throughout the day is respectably nutritious. Try not to make dessert the highlight of every meal or use junk food as a reward for good behavior.
