27 Feb 2018 --- Teaching toddlers about healthy eating choices must be simplified to be successful. Solidifying sensible eating habits in young children is key to life-long healthy living, but programs must be age-appropriate. This is according to a new study, published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. The study found that preschoolers who understand the difference between healthy and non-healthy snack items are likely to choose healthier items. However, the teaching method must be simple enough for their cognitive level. In this study, children are active decision makers.
