Limit the number of days per week your child eats at school. Pack healthy leftovers from last night's dinners in their lunchbox. Talk to your kids about what healthier fare they enjoy. There are plenty of ways to make typical kid's food healthier, such as making peanut butter and jelly with whole wheat bread and organic peanut butter and preserves. Make it a fun affair -- cut up their favorite fruits and veggies into fun shapes, or have your kids cook meals with you. By encouraging your children to eat healthier, you can help them steer clear of junk foods still being offered in schools around the country.
