Families and early childhood professionals can support and encourage children in developing healthy eating and active living habits early in life, both at home and within care settings. Once a child reaches three years old, it’s harder to change their behaviors so exposing kids to lots of different, healthy behaviors at an early age can have a big impact on their life.
