Abstract
Parents, families and schools play key roles in influencing the eating habits of children. This article reviews several factors that can influence the intake of fruits and vegetables in children. Families that eat together have better overall diets, including intakes of fruits and vegetables. When parents serve as positive role models and make fruits and vegetables more available and accessible to children intakes increase. Schools, through their food and nutrition programs, have increased the amounts of fruits and vegetables offered to children. Assisting parents with simple messages about increasing fruits and vegetables in the home and at meal time for their children can improve health and reduce disease risk.
