I know that this an easy topic but I have found that there can be a use for super heros and TV characters in helping to get your child to eat healthy.
My new favourite TV show... Lazy Town... It is completely cheesy and egotistical (the writer of the story is also the lead character). The super hero of the show, Sportacus, is an athlete who can be
defeated if he eats sugar. While the villain, Robbie Rotten, is known
for being lazy and eating bad foods. The wiggles promote healthy eating through songs such as "fruit salad, yummy, yummy". Shows like Master Chef and Junior Master Chef are brilliant in inspiring children to eat and cook all types of foods.
These kind of programs, emphasise healthy eating and exercise, thankfully it gives way to conversations with your child about leading a
healthy lifestyle. I find my self constantly asking both my own little man and the children at work if they are Robby rotten or Sportacus. It makes it easy for us as parents to use our child's favourite
characters to encourage their children to eat healthy foods.
