We asked Cheryl and the team at Owen Community Learning Centre about how they inspire the kids in their care to love healthy food. Our Healthy Habit Heroes had a couple fun, sing-along rhymes to share. Check them out at The Table (link in bio), and give them a try at the lunch or dinner table today. 23 4
How can we help our kids enjoy healthy food? If you search online on this topic, you’ll find tons of great resources and opinions. Have you tried taking a daily family stretch? Learning happens when you get your kids (or yourself) to stretch outside of your Comfort Zone. Consider which foods you’re most comfortable with, which are a bit of a stretch for you, and which are parked in the ‘maybe someday’ category. As a family, try to expand your Comfort Zone. You may find your kids aren’t the only ones learning to try new things! 27 0
Want to know what it’s like to work at a fast-growing company on a world-changing mission? We’re a fun-loving, passionate bunch, and we’re excited for you to meet the many faces and personalities behind Real Food for Real Kids! 49 6
At RFRK, our nourishment extends far beyond the foods we serve. Like our Super Drivers, who are just as excited to see and greet all of the shining faces each day as we are to feed them nutritious and delicious, real food. 99 4
Our delicious Avocado Bean Guacamole is full of real food goodness – from avocado’s healthy fats and citrus, to the hint of cilantro that’s just perfect for young eaters building a taste for herbs. 37 7
“Our mascot the black bear is on every jar because they know how to pick the best fruit and so do we... Knowing that our fruit spreads are used by RFRK to nourish kids is amazing!” Today, in our RFRK Champions series in The Table, local Ontario producer @croftersorganic talks about why working with RFRK is just their jam (link in bio). . 40 23
We often get asked if everyone working at RFRK is a healthy eater. And the honest answer is, not yet! All RFRK employees are on a personal journey to build and adopt lifelong healthy eating habits. The Real Food Kitchen is a fast-food free zone, with samples of Real Food served in our bright and welcoming staffeteria. Providing a welcoming space to gather for a real food meal with a side of positive peer pressure has had an impressive impact on how many RFRK’ers eat and perceive food. 62 15
To help students learn and practice positive character attributes, the @torontodsb introduces a different character development theme each month. In November, students are learning about empathy. So in the spirit of empathy month, we’re sharing a couple interesting reads in The Table today – a Q&A with @marc.brackett on becoming an “emotion scientist”, and using the feeling wheel to better describe emotions (link in bio). What are some tools that you use to encourage emotional expression and teach emotion skills to your kids? . 32 4
