  3. Eating and eating habits in teenagers As children begin puberty, they often feel hungrier and eat more. That’s because their bodies go through a major growth spurt in the teenage years. Extra food gives your child extra energy and nutrients to support this growth and development.

  4. CREATING A HEALTHY FOOD ENVIRONMENT • Ask your child to help with your family’s food shopping and meal planning. • Encourage your child to take responsibility for planning and preparing one healthy family meal a week. • Limit unhealthy food options in your home, and make it easy for your child to find healthy food at home. For example, keep a bowl of fruit on the bench, a container of chopped vegies in the fridge, wholegrain bread in the freezer, and wholegrain crackers in the cupboard.

  5. Talk about your enjoyment and interest in the healthy food you’re eating. This can encourage your child to enjoy eating healthy food too.

  6. Talking about food • Avoid restricting foods or describing them as ‘good’, ‘bad’, ‘naughty’ and so on. Instead, aim for balance – eat healthy most of the time, and every now and then you might like to eat ‘sometimes’ foods. • Teach your child to eat when they’re hungry and to stop when they’re full. This helps your child learn to recognize whether they’re eating out of true hunger or eating out of boredom or tiredness. But you can expect your child to eat a lot more while they’re growing and developing.
