ferent occasions of two-bite exposures to a new food, but kids often surprise themselves by liking something they never thought they would.
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 flavors more if you aren’t driving, watching television, working 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 conversation- al 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.
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. Everyone benefits 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 recon- sider the true joys of life and we can learn a lot from children.
