When it comes to fueling up right, most teens just don’t. Here's how nutritionists convince their teens to make conscious, healthy-eating choices.
Getting most teens to eat healthy can be a struggle under the best of circumstances. Sure, they know what they’re supposed to do when it comes to fueling up right, most teens just don’t.
In general, teens “prioritize convenience, taste and affordability,” which usually means they like “fast food, pizza, chips and other inexpensive goodies you can find at drugstores and convenience stores,” explains Samantha Cassetty, M.S., R.D., a mom of a teen son and a nutrition and wellness expert.
2. Have someone else talk to them about nutrition“If you become overly involved, it’s likely to backfire,” Ansel says. She’s found that teens tend to do better when they hear information about eating well from someone outside the family. “When my kids went to the doctor, they tended to latch onto that information more than when I said it,” she says. “When I said it, there was a lot of eye-rolling.
5. Focus on short-term benefits“They’re more likely to care about immediate results,” says Ansel. “If you try to tell them that eating well will build strong bones, they won’t relate to that.” Instead, she suggests talking to your child about how food can help with energy levels. “Talk about the fact that, if they’re exhausted all the time, healthy eating may help them feel better and have more energy,” she says.
