Kids are constantly learning, exploring, discovering, trying and trying again early in life – and new foods are no exception. Young tastebuds are always evolving and food preferences can be temporary. It takes patience and persistence, but encouraging young eaters with positive language like 'learning' and 'practicing', and harnessing the power of 'yet', can work wonders! 25 1
Can we use the food we eat as a tool to talk to our kids about global issues like poverty, inequality, social justice and climate change? YES! Today’s pick from our library is What’s For Lunch? by Andrea Curtis. @CBC’s Matt Galloway says, “the great thing about this book is that it’s not just profiling lunches from around the world, but it talks about the power of food – that it can change society and that if you introduce that concept to kids early on they can be real actors in that change.” 💪 Learn more in today’s post in The Table (link in bio). It’s also the perfect book to browse through ahead of Multicultural Children’s Book Day on January 31st! . 18 2
