10. Children’s Health
This can be one of the hardest tackles as a parent, guardian, auntie, uncle or babysitter. Food is something that can be controlled and children seem to figure that out quick. I get it, sometimes I have a thing with texture too. I have heard that some children won’t eat a particular food due to its colour and sometimes its just ewwwwwwww. But we want them fed, healthy, smart and strong. As our children grow we watch the seasons pass new nutrition requirements change for growth as they develop and puberty starts to become a scary future. Let’s work together to find the best ways to integrate more healthy into their diets, and opening them up to the world of food and what it can do for us.
