Developing Healthy Eating Habits
It is our responsibility to provide a variety of healthy foods for your child. At Psalms 127:3 Magnet Ministry we offer a variety of nutritious foods. By offering a variety of foods helps preschoolers get the nutrients they need from every food group. They will also be more likely to try new foods and to like more foods. When preschoolers develop a taste for many types of foods, it's easier to plan meals and your child will not become a picky eater.
In addition, babies know when they have eaten enough. We help your child listen to their bodies as they grow. Kids who "listen" to their own fullness cues stop eating when they feel full and are less likely to become overweight. Children are to be given a chance to stop eating when they feel full, even, if you think they aren't. They will feel more independent and it will help them keep a healthy weight.

Physical ActivitiesOur definition of physical activity includes playing actively, such as Simon Says, Obstacle Courses, Skating, Duck Duck Goose, and anything that gets your child moving. Physical activity helps your child stay healthy; it helps your child learn good habits early in life and it gives them an outlet for their natural energy.
