One of the critical steps in positively impacting our nutrition is having HEALTHY snacks available and NOT having UNHEALTHY snacks around. This is always the first step I give for families that struggle with kids eating junk food. It may be more difficult to control when they leave your home, but the more we can positively influence and empower them to make HEALTHY choices the better!
