Negotiators have proposed a 40-day pause in the fighting and an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners
When food choices and lifestyle practices at home conflict with what schools are teaching about nutrition and well-being, it may hinder the efforts schools are putting in.
There are various reasons behind this:
Food as reward
To ensure kids do their homework or clean up their room after playtime, parents promise them cookie and pizza treats, or reward them with unhealthy junk food to encourage healthy eating behaviour. I have heard parents saying: "Eat your broccoli and you will get ice-cream for dessert."
Negative role models
Children observe and learn from their parents - be it food choices, personal hygiene, staying physically active or building good social and community relationships. So it is important for parents to walk the talk.
Increasing dependence on convenience foods
The lack of time to prepare balanced meals and the increasing availability of convenience foods also instils unhealthy eating habits.
Children get to eat snacks on a constant basis - whether it is in between meals, after school hours, when watching their favourite shows on TV, or at parties. But what is of concern is the choice and portions of snacks that are highly processed and denatured with no real food value at all. For many kids, especially in higher grades, fizzy drinks and chips have become standard convenient snacks after school hours before rushing ?out for tuition classes or extracurricular activities.
