All the Greens! 💚💚💚
Learning about food does not only mean eating it. If your child is not up to seeing green on their plate at mealtimes, start where they are comfortable.
➡️ looking at a picture and talking about what they look like
➡️ watching you, away from the table, exploring and playing with the food
➡️ joining in the play (at their own pace), still away from the table
➡️ at mealtimes, noticing the food to the middle of the table (with no cue from you)
➡️ at mealtimes, watching you play and interacting with the food from the middle of the table and deliberately choosing not to eat it
➡️ at mealtimes, joining in the play, with no pressure to eat it
Being comfortable, and in control, with space, a demonstrator and no pressure…. This is where the magic happens and this is what builds curiosity.
Where is your child at now? Are you finding it tricky to know where to start with helping to enhance your child’s interaction with food?
