Six Ways to Promote Positive Body Image With Your Teen

Dear Parents,

·        
           Offer healthy food choices in the house and make it easily accessible.

      I have always been a fan of fresh fruit.  I ate a lot of fresh fruit as a kid and I am especially fond of the summer fruits, peaches, cherries, watermelon etc.  What I have noticed is that although my teens also enjoy fruit, they won't go into the refrigerator and grab a piece of fruit.  Yet, if I cut up a piece of fruit and put it out, it will be eaten in no time! 
      
      I will often cut up a fruit and put it out on the table at breakfast.  A lot of times they wouldn't want a whole piece of fruit, but will happily snack on a slice or two. 
      
      The same goes for a veggie platter.  If I put a few veggies on a platter with some vegetable dip.  It's just as easy to put out some carrots as it is to serve chips. 

      Do you have other ideas?  Write to me and let me know at Jane@TheParentSuccessCoach.com.
