3. Try to regulate when and where your child eats by setting regular daily meal times.
4. Involve children in choosing and buying food, and teach them how to make healthy food choices.
5. Fruits and vegetables are low in calories but rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals.
6. Keep a variety of nutritious snacks easily available.
