Getting children to eat well is so important; establishing good diet habits in childhood means that they stick for life. This is key in avoiding diet-related diseases in later years, such as CHD and diabetes.

Sadly, kids usually aren't too keen on fruit and veg. However, there are certain tips and tricks to get them clearing their plates; most importantly, there's good presentation - why do children want to eat bowlfuls of Fruity Pebbles? The answer is simple - because they look fun.

If you can make the meals you prepare look bright and fun as well, you'll be guaranteed an empty plate at dinner time. Try arranging food into shapes, like a face or a boat. Use brightly-coloured, contrasing ingredients, like orange carrots and green broccoli. Be creative - even get the kids to help out.

Another good idea is to bin of all the refined, processed junk foods in your house - get rid of sugary distractions and high-fat temptations, and your kids will try the fruit.

Here is a lovely child diet guide. Read this and you'll know the best foods to feed them with!
