Follow The ½, ¼, ¼ Rule

Nutritionists recommend that half of your plate contains vegetables, one-fourth contains a complex carbohydrate (like brown rice, quinoa or whole grain pasta) and one-fourth contains a lean protein source (like fish or chicken).
You can play a nutrition-based game with your kid and have them identify different types of complex carbs, lean protein or leafy greens. Give them non-food rewards for nailing a certain number of right answers (like skipping that night’s chore). This will make it fun for them to learn about nutrition, and help everyone stick to the ½, ¼, ¼ rule.
