Whether you’re an experienced mom or you just had your first baby, we all know that you want to give the best for your child. It should not be so difficult to be a hands-on mom, especially that most of us have access in the internet! Here are some tips to follow how you can be a better Mom using Social Media.

1. Make youtube your kitchen ally

Dr. Mark Hyman, Chairman of the Institute for Functional medicine suggests that moms like you should prefer cooking food for your kids instead of ordering from fast food. The research showed that children who have regular meals with their parents do better in every way, from better grades, to healthier relationships, to staying out of trouble. They are 42 percent less likely to drink, 50 percent less likely to smoke and 66 percent less like to smoke marijuana. Regular family dinners protect girls from bulimia, anorexia, and diet pills. Family dinners also reduce the incidence of childhood obesity. In a study on household routines and obesity in U.S. preschool-aged children, it was shown that kids as young as four have a lower risk of obesity if they eat regular family dinners, have enough sleep, and don't watch TV on weekdays.

But kids can be picky eaters sometimes, especially when it comes to vegetables. It’s a good thing that we have YouTube not just to view our favorite songs, but we can also re-invent our recipe and discover new dishes for our family. You can search dishes to serve for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner! It is really fulfilling that your kids has something to look forward for today’s menu, and makes them more excited to eat what you’re going to serve them.
