According to Common Sense Media, “Tech use is aging down as young people get devices earlier. A majority (53%) of kids have their own smartphone by the time they are 11, and 69% have one at age 12.”

Parenting is a tough job, and it can be difficult to know exactly how to reward and encourage your child. However, as a parent, you must reward your child to keep them motivated to do what is right.

It’s no secret that healthy eating is essential for everyone, but it’s especially crucial for kids. Their growing bodies and developing minds need the proper nutrients to function at their best. Unfortunately, many kids today don’t get the healthy diet they need.

One reason is that unhealthy foods are often more affordable and readily available than healthier options. Many parents don’t have the time or knowledge to cook nutritious meals from scratch every day, and if your kids are picky eaters who are horrified at the thought of trying anew food (especially if it’s deemed “healthy”), your efforts feel futile anyway.

The good news is there are ways to help your kids develop a taste for healthy foods and get excited about eating them. With a little effort, you can set them up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits.

Many toddlers, although curious about everything else in the world around them, are less than excited about the prospect of trying new foods that may be unfamiliar to them but if you don’t want to end up with a fussy eater on your hands, you do need to help them experience new foods that they will grow to love.

The first interactions a child has are nurtured by parents. And they prove so valuable and impactful for other periods of life, such as adolescence or early adulthood. So, what is the role of parents in children's socialization?
