How parent power makes a difference to kids’ diets

When it comes to our children, we always want what's best for them, be it from what they eat and drink, to education, to where they play and what they watch on TV. It may not always be possible to check everything they eat and drink and many of us may worry that they are consuming all the wrong things.

Yet ensuring your child is eating well and allowing them their favourite food and drink is not necessarily as daunting a task as it seems.

Whilst we like to influence what our children consume, what if we could influence the nature of the brands that line the shelves of the supermarkets? How many times have you wanted to get your hands on a well known brand and give your own opinion on how you think it should change?

In a new WebTV show, the team are joined by members of the Parent's Advisory Group (PAG), set up by SunnyD, to tell us how they made a difference. These parents and others across the country got involved and spoke out about what they wanted to change in the juice drink and they got results.

Following a dramatic re-launch, the soft drink is now free from all artificial sweeteners and contains 70% juice, having been re-branded, re-developed and re-vamped. All because a group of mums added their valuable insight and suggestions.

Knowing what is in your children's food and voicing your concerns can really make a difference. Understanding the needs and opinions of other parents in order to work together, can truly make that lasting change - after all, it is you the parent who knows what is best for your children.

Members of the PAG, Nicole Beebee and Helen Bryan can be seen online at webchats.tv/chat/parent_power - the group discuss how you too can make a difference.
