Kids’ Guide to Good Eats

What should a soccer-playing kid eat before practice? How can a teen heading off to college make wise food choices in the dorm cafeteria? KidsHealth, a Web site for kids, teens and parents, is loaded with all kinds of user-friendly nutrition information for raising healthy children. Best of all, the articles carry a kid-friendly tone; no talking down to children here. Kids can learn about food labels and the importance of a good breakfast, as well as try out simple recipes for favorites, from smoothies to chili. Teens will find articles on nutrition for sports and eating disorders and tips for dining out. Parents’ concerns are addressed in topics ranging from overweight children to children who won’t exercise to packing school lunches. The site is from the Nemours Foundation Center for Children’s Health Media, which is affiliated with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del.
