Back to school can be a hectic time and sometimes health can fall by the wayside when you’re running kids back and forth from sports or clubs and making sure homework is done.

Nobody is perfect, especially kids, so some cookies or a soda mixed in with a generally healthy lifestyle is ok. Let the kids help with grocery shopping so they feel more motivated to eat it once it’s ready.  As hard as it can be sometimes to get caught up meal prepping or snack prepping can be a big help. If the grapes are already in baggies ready to grab then it’s more likely the healthy stuff can be the choice. They also recommend being the example for them to follow.
