What is our responsibility towards bad nutrition and the conflict that it causes? = = =__ SUMMARY __= = Isabella Jaramillo 15-5-12 = =Our responsibility towards bad nutrition and the conflict that it causes is to take the right decisions when choosing what to buy for lunch because there are many options, and we need to be balanced by choosing some days healthy food and some others not so healthy food, or combining both.= =Parents responsibility towards their children's good nutrition is to promote eating healthy in their house so their kids get used to eat not only junk food, but fruits and vegetables. They also have the reponsibility for being informed about their child's situation so they can make something about it, and conflict won't happen between parents and children.=

=__ MEDIA __= = Maria Jose Aguayo 10-5-12 = =[]= =Parents are very important when we talk about children’s eating habits in their house and at school, but also being balanced and responsible because children must eat everything but not abusing of it.=

= Parent's Responsibility = **Providing a variety of foods from which your child can choose** **Parents provide appropriate food selections for meals and snacks to meet their children's needs for growth and development.** **Developing a schedule of meal and snack times for your child** **Children need to eat meals and snacks. Because their stomachs are so small, children need to have five to six small frequent meals, or three meals a day with two or three snacks between meals. Having evenly spaced planned meals and snacks helps you avoid questions like, "When are we eating?" and "I'm hungry, when are we having dinner?"** **Providing an appropriate mealtime environment** **Children should focus on food during meal and snack times. Eating at the table prevents the child from confusing eating with playtime. Distractions, like watching television or playing games at the table, should be avoided.**

= Child's Responsibility = = Maria Jose Aguayo 10/5/12 = =Children are also important because they should decide well what to eat at school when they have many possibilities, but also being balanced and eating little amount of everything.=

Deciding what to eat of the foods offered **Only your child knows if he or she is hungry. If it is mealtime and your child chooses not to eat, don't try to make him or her eat. Don't only cook the foods that your child likes or make a substitute meal if he or she chooses not to eat the meal that you have prepared.**  **Deciding how much to eat of the foods offered** **You should not make your child eat. Your child knows how much he or she needs to eat. Allow your child's hunger to regulate the amount of food he or she eats.** ** [|Pickiness] or refusal to eat often results from inappropriate tactics such as force feeding, bribing and punishing. If parents eat a variety of healthy foods, the child will be more likely to try and like a variety of foods.** **Studies show that children generally will grow up to eat the way that their parents eat. Predictable meal and snack times, a pleasant atmosphere and a wholesome balanced diet will provide your child with a foundation of good eating habits for her future. In addition, planning ahead will ensure that you and your child will have tasty food that is good for both of you.** -- = Isabella Jaramillo 7-5-12 = =[]= =This article is about how parents are being beated by junk food companies that have better ways to promote not so healthy food.= Parents have the primary responsibility for feeding their children, but they are beated by food marketers because: =-Parents tell their children what is healthful to eat and marketing companies have resources to influence children’s food choices such as:= =-Cartoon characters= =-Music they like -Celebrities= =-Contests= =-Giving them toys= =-Prices= =-Games= =-Contests= =-Collectibles= =-Prices= =And other ways that parents can't do to influence their kids to eat healthy=
