CAREABOUTKIDS

PARENTS: The preschool years are an important time to help your child establish good eating habits, since you can control your child's diet successfully. At his age, many children need to eat snacks or "mini-meals." They cannot always eat enough food at mealtimes to get all the nutrients and energy they need. Help your child choose sensible snacks-foods that don't promote tooth decay. MY WORD: Teeth are meant to last a lifetime if taken care of early.
