🚨 Create SMART Goals for YOU! Here is an example:

🎯 SMART Goal:
I will eat a serving of vegetables with a meal AND a snack at least 4 days a week during the month of January.

✔️ Specific: Eat more vegetables for better health
📏 Measurable: Vegetables at least one meal & one snack for 4 days/week
💡 Achievable: I can grocery shop, meal prep, and have a microwave. (😉 WIC can help with my vegetable goal!)
❤️ Relevant: Vegetables support a balanced diet and long-term health
⏰ Time-Bound: January, with reflection at the end of the month

Small steps add up—WIC is here to support your SMART Goals! 💚🥕

1. Take a break from screens!
2. Let them serve themselves! Encourage small amounts & remind them: "You can always get more if you're still hungry."
3. Talk about positive & neutral subjects! Ask simple questions, share stories, & model calm communication.
4. Patience! Toddlers eat at their own pace & in their own way.
5. Routine! Offer meals/snacks every 2-3 hours, around the same time each day.
6. Offer choices! "You can choose apples or crackers."
7. Water between meals & snacks!
8. Clear & simple rules! Consistent rules that work for the both of us.
9. Learning to eat can be messy! If throwing or dumping food, it may mean "I'm not hungry anymore." That's a cue they can be excused from the table.
