Reading together is a great opportunity to teach your child about healthy eating and the benefits of being physically active. You do not need to present nutrition facts and exercise instruction, just read the book together and enjoy it. Your child will absorb the message and be happy to spend time with you.
Add one or two of the fruits or vegetables you read about to a snack or meal to tie in to the story and make mealtime fun. Look for new recipes on the Eat Smart, Be Fit Maryland recipe search if you need ideas. Try one of the physical activity ideas from the books to keep the whole family’s energy up.
