Toddler Meal Ideas|Kids Meal Planning
What i feed my toddlers? Sometimes its not about food, there are so many other factors at play that we cannot see or have control over. For instance, personality and temperament!
So whenever I get asked, “how do you get your child to eat like that?” I say:
I believe it’s really important to reframe our mindset of “getting” our kids to eat anything. That is not our job! Our job is to prepare a well-balanced meal to the best of our abilities, create structure around eating times, set up a positive environment at mealtimes (no pressuring, bribing, force-feeding, etc.), and to respect and trust their decisions and innate ability to self-regulate. All this equates to less pressure for everyone involved
Don’t give up! Instead, consider every snack/mealtimes as an opportunity to expose them to different foods
Instead, let’s try to recognize and enjoy our little human beings for who they are in this very moment. Let’s give ourselves plenty of grace today and just love on our kids! We got food on the table today (along with a million other things we got accomplished). Go us! Share with your friends who might need this.
❤️And Tell me! What's your child's personality like?
