Teaching children about nutrition is essential to long term good health. We wall want our children to be healthy so why not teach and encourage good eating habits? Children do not purchase the groceries or make the food so essentially it is up to us parents to make the right choices and be the example. If you are recently making a change, intend on making a change, or want to keep your kids informed then make a game out of it.
Nutrition Explorations is an online hub for kids to learn about nutrition through fun games and activities.
