Does your kid play tons of sports and participate in after school activities? This could be a factor of why your child is not eating healthy enough. Since they have so little time to make something healthy they choose the fast route of grabbing an unhealthy snack from the cupboard, o they can get to where they are going faster. A way you can prevent this as a parent is make precooked meals for your kid on days when you know they will be in a rush. Just slide it in the fridge and tell your child to heat it up when they get home. So they can have a fast and healthy meal. This strategy will work because instead of your kid eating an unhealthy snack food they with have a nice small meal ready for them to eat in the same time it takes for them to pick an unhealthy snack.

Another factor that influences unhealthy habits for your kids is the amount of sleep they get. If your kid is stubborn and won`t get up for school in time they won`t be able to make a healthy breakfast to start their day. Or worse, they may not get any breakfast at all! A solution to this issue is to make your child breakfast on the go. So when they wake up make them get ready for school then hand them a bagel or another breakfast food that they can eat on the bus or on their walk to school. Also, you could demand for your child to go to bed earlier so they are not as exhausted in the morning. I also know many cases where the child is staying up very late playing and watching videos on their phones. A solution would be to make them charge their phones in the basement so they can get to bed at a decent hour.
All of these are legit problems that young adults face today. If you use these solutions you will have a more healthy and happy child!
