Importance Of Mealtimes With Children
Posted: Thu May 14, 2015 10:59 am
Question: Describe why it is important to sit & talk with children at mealtimes.
My answer so far: Mealtime can be an important time to encourage communication, also provides an opportunity for children to develop good eating behaviours, as well as learn about nutrition and food variety. To gain a positive outlook on nutritional food. Talking about taste, texture, appearance of certain foods, helps children to be confident in their choices.
I feel like there should be more to this answer, any ideas would be fantastic,
Thank You,
