Make the most of your food. Eating is a total sensory experience for children as they examine, smell and touch each morsel. You’ll appreciate food aromas, appearance and fl avors more if you aren’t driving, watching television, work- ing on a computer, reading or standing over the sink.
Eating with your family is fun. Babies and toddlers
naturally love eating with other people. Family mealtime is a golden opportunity to model good habits and con- versational skills and connect with each other. With older children, play high-low around the dinner table, where each family member takes a turn sharing the best and worst parts of their day.
Eating until you are content
is more important than fi nishing everything on your plate.

There is more to a party than cake and ice cream.
Invite children to a party and they’ll want to know what they are going to get to do; invite adults and they’ll wonder what food will be served. Instead of avoiding food-based get togethers, focus on the social aspects of the event.
Sleep is good. Children need a good night’s sleep to prepare for the adventures that tomorrow will bring. Every- one benefi ts from a consistent bedtime and good rest.
Live in the moment. Kids are masters at living in the present; they don’t waste a lot of energy worrying about what has already happened or what might happen tomorrow. They are fully engaged in small, enjoyable pursuits. Adults will do well to reconsider the true joys of life and we can learn a lot from children.
