I’ve been updating old posts with the goal of keeping the content current. It’s not always possible to republish them so I’m letting you know about my most recent updated post: 10 of the Best Cereals for Kids. It highlights kid friendly ready-to-eat cereals that meet the following nutrition criteria per serving:
- 10g or less sugar
- 3g or more fiber
- Whole grain as the first ingredient (at least 12g whole grains)
- No artificial colors or questionable preservatives
Don’t miss it!
I also have written a 12-page report: 5 Things Parents Are Never Taught About Feeding Kids (But Need to Know). You can access the downloadable PDF when signing up for my newsletter. If you are already signed up and are interested in reading it, just reply to your newsletter email and I’ll send it your way. Also, please forward this post to any friends you think would be interested. They can sign up here or on my homepage’s sidebar.
And last, if you look around my site you will see I have some new advertising. One of my goals is to write and grow Raise Healthy Eaters full time. So I ask if you are reading one of my articles via email to please click through to my site to finish reading it.
Thanks so much!
My kids love the sugar cereal, but I strongly believe in sending them to school with a homemade, fiber and protein full breakfast. I noticed that my resistance to buy it was causing a heightened interest in it so we now have Saturday cereal day where my kids get to pick whatever cereal they want and eat what they want of it. I figured it could be like the big plate of cookies Ellyn suggests doing. What do you think of that idea? They get excited about it and eat a whole bunch of it on that day, but it doesn’t seem to have the pedestal it used to.
I think that’s a great idea Marci. It’s kind of like my kids and grandma day. they eat cookies etc. there but don’t ask for it at home.
