If these benefits from healthy eating habits for your toddler are interesting to you, read on. Why Should You Care? The impacts of unhealthy eating can be detrimental to your toddler. If not properly educated and instructed on healthy eating habits, your toddler could develop habits that cause them to become physically and emotionally unwell. Some major issues your toddler could face in the future include:
Alternatively, being mindful of what your toddler eats will encourage physical growth while allowing for the optimal growth of cognitive processes. Some of the benefits of adopting healthy eating habits include:
Encourage Growth Through Healthy Eating As a parent, your goal is to ensure proper growth for your child. Healthy eating habits will help to ensure that your toddler is fueled with the nutrients they need to properly grow and develop. These critical vitamins necessary for your toddler’s development can be easily overlooked and forgotten if not explicitly addressed. Overloading your child with unhealthy foods or drinks, high in sugars and artificial flavorings, preservatives, and chemicals, won’t allow your toddler to maximize their development potential. The root of your thought process should stay constant; the toddler’s health and wellbeing always come first. When thinking of what food or drink your child should eat or drink, the first questions that you should ask yourself are these:
If you can’t come up with a reasonable response for one or both of these questions, or attempt to fill the void in thinking with some abject rationalization, it may be time to reconsider or think again about what you’re using as a source of fuel and energy for your child. When it comes down to it, your toddler will miss out on experiences with food through culture and experience a decline in social aptitude if they develop habits of picky or unhealthy food choices. All parents want to see their child grow to become adventurous and curious, ready to try new cuisines and flavors from different cultures and backgrounds. If these principles are not instilled at a young age, the chances of these traits developing in the future become much less likely. Tips For Establishing Healthy Eating Habits For Your Toddler First of all, it is important to allow your child to make semi-independent choices about what they eat. As always, take this with a grain of salt; for example, offer a few choices to your child, allowing them to choose, but maintain a common theme of health across all choices. There is a broad scope of nutrient-rich foods to choose from. Take measures to include your toddler in the shopping process and allow them to pick out one or two healthy foods that they like. This follows along with our core ideal of allowing your child to develop a feeling of independence and growth, while still within the bounds of your ability to teach and encourage good decision-making principles and healthy eating habits. Once you have returned from the grocery store, invite your toddler to assist you with the food preparation process. Not only will this peak their interest to learn about the healthy foods and become engaged with healthy eating habits, but it will spark their excitement to eat the healthy foods once the ‘cooking’ step is completed. Finally, take advantage of every opportunity to teach your child about how healthy foods allows them to grow. Although your toddler may not be able to understand complex principles of nutrients, they are still curious and always engaged by opportunities to learn. Try using phrases and techniques such as:

I like your suggestion to ask ourselves if the food or drink reinforces habitual healthy eating for our child. I want to find a pediatric care clinic where I can discuss developing healthy eating habits for my two sons soon. Your suggestions should provide a good basis for discussion with a pediatrician, so thanks for sharing them here!
