My mom never really let us have too much sugary drinks or snacks. I never remember eating any fruit snacks or anything fun like that when I was little but she did let us put sugar on our fruit, like strawberries. We also did a lot of walking when I was little. We lived close to a lot of parks and a convenient store that we would walk to a lot.

I would only be able to eat certain amount of candy each day.

One rule my parents had when I was little was that when we would like a snack anytime of day it must be a healthy snack. Such as fruits, vegetables, or something good for our bodies that will benefit us and something that will fill and fuel our bodies.

We would go for a walk at least a couple times a week to the park.

A healthy habit I remember when I was little was that usually when we were to eat, we had to have some sort of fruit that was a part of it.

My mom made a rule that if we didn't like a certain food or hadn't tried it yet, we had to take at least one bite before we could have something else.

One healthy habit we had as kids was no junk food after a certain time and if we didn't eat our diner, we couldn't have dessert.

One safety rule I had was soda or sugary drinks once a week.
