I was able to submit ten questions from Mom in the City readers that Missy and Larysa were kind enough to answer. I will share their responses over the next few weeks. I shared Larysa\u2019s answers a couple of weeks ago on this post. This week, I will be sharing Missy Chase Lapine\u2019s answers below: <\/p>\n

Sneaky Nutrition Tips<\/strong>
\n1.\tWhat is your number one tip for parents in regards to helping kids eat more nutritious food?<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t force the situation. Kids will develop bad feelings about good foods, creating a lifetime of difficulty. Instead, sneak some good nutrition into the foods they already like to eat. Then you\u2019ll relax and feel good about what they\u2019re eating, instead of insisting that they \u201ceat something good for you\u201d right then and there. This takes tangible pressure off the situation. You can then encourage them to make good food choices in a relaxed environment conducive to learning. The result is that they\u2019ll be more open to trying new foods or to follow your lead. A perfect example is the mom who wrote me saying that her son now likes spinach on his pizza and in his ziti, because he saw her making other Sneaky Chef recipes with spinach puree hidden inside and he knows he liked those. See how it works?!<\/p>\n

2.\tHow can parents involve their kids in making healthy food choices?<\/strong>
\nLots of ways: Take them shopping and let them help pick out fruits and
\nvegetables to sneak into their favorite recipes; Have them read ingredient labels if they\u2019re old enough (if they can\u2019t pronounce it, they probably don\u2019t want to eat it!); Let them help making healthier recipes in the kitchen so they\u2019ll feel some pride in ownership of what comes out and be far more likely to eat it (and like it!); point out to them the correlation between what they\u2019ve eaten and how they\u2019re feeling or behaving so they learn for themselves how various foods make them feel; let them decide for themselves between recipes made the traditional way with recipes made the Sneaky Chef way.<\/p>\n

3.\tCan you share your favorite activity from this upcoming book (and why)?<\/strong>
\nDefinitely \u201cHalftime Show.\u201d Every time a commercial comes on, press the mute button and ask your kids to give you a floor show\u2039sing, dance, or act out what just happened in the show they\u00b9re watching. Say the words \u201cHannah Montana\u201d and you won\u00b9t have to do much prodding to get your grade schoolers and tweens to start singing and dancing! Younger kids might be big fans of the Power Rangers, for example, and like to imitate their moves. All you\u2019ll need is a remote with a mute button!<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
