Eight Ways to Improve Your Child's Diet

* Read food labels with them so they know what's healthful and what's not.

* Stock your refrigerator and pantry with healthful snacks, such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, and fresh fruit.

* Pack them a healthful lunch. Most school lunches are high in fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

* Encourage them not to exchange lunches with other students at school.

* Plan family meals for times when you can all sit down together and eat.

* Serve them age-appropriate portions and encourage them not to over-eat.

* Prepare a variety of foods.

* Eat a healthful diet yourself.
