As August rolls in, school will be starting again. It is a good time to get kids started with healthful eating and active lifestyles.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates Kids Eat Right Month™ to focus on kids.
To help encourage kids to eat right, get them in the kitchen. Kids as young as three can help do simple tasks to have them help make a recipe or prepare a meal. When they help in the kitchen, they are more willing to try new foods.
