Influences Of A Young Child's Food Habits

As a child is growing and developing, their food habits that they develop are not made on their own. There are many influences around them such as friends, school and the media. One of the main influences for children in terms of their eating habits are the parents. Being the parents of your kids makes you have the responsibility for children's dietary habits. You are the providers, enforcers, and role models for your child. If you are a good role model, your kid's eating habits will thrive, being more good and healthy. If you are a bad role model, then your child's habits will be poor. A child's eating habits are influenced by friends, school, and the media due to factors such as availability, popularity, and peer pressure.
