How much fruit should my child eat?

Our children need different amounts of fruit as they get older. A toddler basically will need one cup of fruit, which is about the size of a fist. An older child, elementary school age, will need closer to two cups of fruit a day, so two fists. When we get into adolescence, our kids are going to need two to three cups of fruit.
