As many parents know, kids can be picky eaters. And according to a recent study, moms are concerned that their kids aren’t eating enough fruits and vegetables.

“We found that moms understand the health benefits of fruits and vegetables but struggle to get their family to eat them,” said Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., RD, president and CEO, Produce for Better Health Foundation. “Today, Americans

expert Advice on

enticing Kids to eat Their

Fruits and Vegetables

are currently eating less than half of the recommended cups of fruits and vegetables each day.”

To better understand the situation, the Produce for Better Health Foundation conducted its annual research on “Moms’ Attitudes and Beliefs Related to Fruit & Vegetable Consumption.”

The study found:• Ninety percent agree that a diet that

includes fruits and vegetables may help their child avoid

obesity.• Ninety percent

agree that a diet with more fruits and vegetables promotes their family’s overall health and may

prevent disease, now and in the

future.• Ninety percent


agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help promote well-being of mind and body.

• Eighty-nine percent agree that more fruits and vegetables plus more physical activity means the family can be at its best.

There’s been a steady improvement over time in the level of ease moms reported regarding their ability to access fruits and vegetables for their families at restaurants and quick-service restaurants.

Setting out a fruit bowl, having vegetables cut up and ready to eat in the refrigerator, and finding ways to hide produce in other foods are some of the ways to get more fruits and vegetables into a family’s diet. The research also found that kids tend to eat more produce when they are involved in the growing, selecting and preparing of food. To get kids more involved, Pivonka provided these tips:1. Let kids get involved in planning meals

for the week and challenge them to find ways to make sure a fruit and vegetable are included in each meal. Remember, canned, frozen and dried fruits or vegetables, in addition to fresh, are all great options!

2. Get kids involved in using produce to make juices or smoothies. It can be a fun activity for kids to use a blender or juicer to show them there are other ways to eat your fruits and vegetables.

3. Teach kids about produce that’s in season and how to select the best produce. Take them to a farmer’s market to talk with growers. This also provides a great opportunity to try new produce they didn’t know they enjoyed.

4. Starting a backyard garden can be a great way to get kids interested and involved. Monsanto, through its Seminis Home Garden division, is working to make growing backyard produce more accessible for busy families by creating seed varieties that are easy to grow.

Families looking for ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in their meals can go to www.morematters.org to find delicious recipes and additional tips.

After all, ‘flying without a net” while caring for a sick child at home could be a scary proposition. in order for a nurse to gain confidence and pediatric skill proficiency, proper preparation is essential.

starts you on your way. you will learn basic pediatric nursing skills and have the opportunity to demonstrate that you have mastered each skill before moving on.

We recognize that even the most skilled clinicians may not succeed if they are unable to meet the families “where they live.” Pediatric home care provides a nurse with an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people who need us. Understanding and appreciating clients and families enables trust to grow.

• The electronic simulation labs are state-of-the art. They provide you with safe, stress-free skill training before you ever enter the client’s home. Our simulation educators are all certified trainers and they are determined to help you succeed.

• in the future, you may want to take our Preceptor Training Course. Once you have gained confidence and experience, you may want to share your talents with other nurses. After all, a preceptor in your past was instrumental in your success. This is an opportunity to “pay it forward.”

• bAyAdA Pediatrics offers an expansive library of free continuing education modules (Ces) to enhance your nursing practice and to help you meet the requirements for nursing license renewal.
