Ensuring Children Eat Healthy Meals

PW invited parents of Delhi Public School Agra to share insights on how they ensure their children consume nutritious meals

"To make sure my eight-year-old son Samriddh (class IV) eats healthy meals is a challenge but fun nevertheless. Our latest mantra is to involve him in dictating the menu and helping to prepare meals under my supervision so he is inspired to sample his own creations. To sustain him during long school hours, I pack enough protein in his school tiffin to keep him going through the day. Creativity also works for him. Therefore, I use cookie cutters to serve him bread/chapatis in the shape of hearts and smiles and give them fancy names. We are gradually learning to wean him off junk food" - Ritu Gupta, businesswoman
