Answer to Question 2

Parents can be present and can provide the adolescents with handy, nutritious foods such as whole-wheat crackers, cereals, fresh fruit, milk, yogurt, or cheese sticks for a quick snack that does not supply excess calories. The parent can also discuss with the adolescent the nutritional value of foods. Conditions such as PMS or acne may have a dietary component and may be helped by the addition of nutritious whole foods to the adolescent's diet. Parents are a key influence on an adolescent's beliefs and behaviors.
