Health Books for Kids That Help Build Healthy Habits
Looking for health books for kids? These are a few family-friendly favorites that help teach nutrition, gut health, cooking, and calming bedtime routines in a fun way.
Eat Like a Dinosaur by Paleo Parents
This book was a game changer for our family when we switched to a nutrient-dense diet instead of the standard American diet. It is well-loved in our house, with pages sticky and falling out.
Instead of me nagging my kids about what to eat, this book empowers them to make meals that fuel their bodies instead of slowing them down. Letting go of control in the kitchen was hard for me, but the reward of independent cooks is worth the time and mess investment.
Buddies in My Belly by Sarah Morgan and Henry Bell
This is an adorable way to grasp a really complicated concept. Our gut microbiome is crucial to physical and mental health, and what we feed our gut bacteria can have a profound impact.
This book helps kids understand some of the bacteria in the gut, why they matter, and how food choices can help care for those buddies. You care for the buddies, and they help take care of you.
Good Night Yoga by Mariam Gates
This is a sweet bedtime routine for kids. Many children’s lives are filled with stimulation and technology, which can make it hard for their minds to shut off.
Intentional time to be present in the body with purposeful breathing can help activate the calming system and create a smoother transition to peaceful sleep. Quality sleep matters at every age.
Have you read any of these? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Until next time, remember, I’m cheering for you!
