Cooking and enjoying a meal together is a great way to connect with your family. Which of the following mealtime tips will you try first?
- Remove distractions by turning off the TV and making a phone “parking spot” away from the table.
- Have everyone share what they did during the day. Ask everyone what made them laugh or what they did for fun.
- Try new foods at home. Kids need many opportunities to taste a new food to get used to it.
- Have adults and older kids talk about the color, feel, or flavor of foods. This will make them sound more appealing to younger kids.
- On nice days, opt for a change of scenery and eat outside or go to a nearby park for a picnic.
Enjoy your time together around the table and have fun!
