I think the best way to get our children to eat healthy is to model healthy eating in our own personal lives. It will communicate that it's important to you, and we will be practicing what we preach. Plus, if we don't eat junk food, there is no reason to have it in our home, and our kids won't have it either.

The beginning of this article is repetitive of what we covered last week, but continue  to read to the end on implementation. How To Build A Family Culture
