We all know how much children love candy. It’s no mystery! Children all over the world seemed to share this trait. They love anything with sugar in it. This includes chocolate brownies, chocolate caramel with nuts, chocolate cake with gooey icing and even pancakes with lots of syrup.
With all this sugar, it’s no surprise that kids often get cavities. Most parents struggle to get their children to cut back on sugar and sweets. After some research, many pediatricians and dentists have found that the most effective means of curtailing this is simply educating your children. At an early age, children can be told about tooth decay and the dangers of cavities. Of course, you should not make the explanation too scary for your child.
As part of their health education, it’s important for a child to know about eating healthy foods. Explain how healthy foods help us to grow into strong adults. Foods with too much sugar can lead to obesity, diabetes and tooth decay.
Of course, it may seem like your children are never listening, but they do absorb quite a bit of what they hear and see each day. Teaching them about good personal hygiene and dental hygiene will help them well into their future. There are numerous benefits to eating healthy whether you are a child or an adult.
