Eating together is beneficial on more ways than one. It encourages healthy food habits, increases the consumptions of fruits and vegetables, encourages a friendly and interactive home environment and promotes social and behavioral development in your children.

Kids adopt habits from their parents. When you eat lunch and dinner with your kids that includes healthy organic food without any junk snacks, they will acquire the same habit for themselves as well.

During the mealtime, you can also share many health benefits and interesting facts about how organic foods grow, where they are made, and how much nutritional value they give to our bodies.

At your next lunch time, switch off the TV and Wi-Fi and have a conversation with your kids!

Another effective trick to make your kids fond of fruits and veggies is to bring some style and seasoning to the organic dishes.

A study surprised parents when it proved that children like to eat vegetables and fruits more when they are styled in funny shapes and cooked with a little spice in them.

Engage your children to play with vegetables instead of eating them in the normal, unexciting way. Cut them in appealing shapes like starts and flowers. Paste a sticker of their favorite cartoon on their lunchbox. Flavor the plate of salad with ketchup, peanut sauce or teriyaki. Drizzle the broccoli with cashew cheesy sauce or make a smoothie of spinach.

The last tip is to involve your kids when you cook organic foods. They love to eat what they have prepared themselves.  When you go to the grocery store, take your kids with you. Play games with them where you both try to find the healthiest foods. Make them find cans and packages whose labels say things like “Natural”, “Pesticides-free”, “Organic”, “Fresh” and “Healthy” and “With Vitamins and Antioxidants”.
