Much like your child’s development, their perception of food and taste is “under- construction.” Lay the foundation for positive habits that will last a lifetime by connecting your kid to their food at a young age. Through consistent exposure to various colorful ingredients, kids will naturally learn to accept, embrace, and enjoy different foods. Here are tips to consider when embarking on this weekly adventure:

​

• First thing’s first ⏤ kids hear everything, including parent’s perception of different foods. Avoid spoiling your child’s impression of fruits or vegetables with your own food prejudices. Just because you don’t want to broc’ on doesn’t mean that this cruciferous green won’t make your child’s tastebuds sing.

​

• Preparing meals shouldn’t be a solo mission. Instead, fuel your child’s developing mind by including them in the purchasing, prepping, and cooking process. Kiddos are more likely to try foods that they helped create! And remember, patience is key. After all, small steps are still forward steps.
