Do you find grocery shopping with little ones a bit challenging? We are here to help, find tips below and in our latest “Building Strong Families” to help your family succeed at the grocery store!
- Talk with your children about what you expect from them, what you will purchase, and how they will help with this process.
- Tell your child that they can pick one new fruit or vegetable to try. Kids are much more likely to try new foods if they are allowed to choose it themselves.
- Eat a meal or snack before heading out. Shopping on an empty stomach may lead to impulse buys.
- Discuss MyPlate with your child and talk about where each food item will fit on their plate. This is a great opportunity to talk to them about the importance of eating a variety of food.
- Allow your child to pick foods in each color of the rainbow. This can be a fun game to play as they are learning their colors.
