Healthy Eating
Healthy eating is important at every age.
As a parent or guardian, you play an important role in:
- supporting your child’s interest in healthy food
- shaping your child’s eating habits and behaviours
The HSE have put together a webpage dedicated to all you need to know about the importance of healthy eating health as a family, Tips on meal times and foods that are beneficial in child development and growth. The webpage gives plenty of resources on planning health meal times using the food pyramid.
