I having trouble with this question?
What steps would you take to change the culture in the 0-2s room around meal times without causing conflict amongst the educators?
In your answer, state how the Belonging, Being and Becoming – The Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard can be used to facilitate change and guide practice within the service.
I am looking into the EYLF and National Quality Standards points:
Element 1.1.6 of the National Quality Standard states:
‘Each child’s agency is promoted, enabling them to make choices
and decisions and influence events and their world.’ (Guide to the
National Quality Standard, ACECQA, 2011, p. 19).
Similarly, the EYLF’s Learning Outcomes recognise the following:
‘Children develop their emerging autonomy, inter-dependence,
resilience and sense of agency’ (Learning Outcome 1.2, p. 22).
‘Children take increasing responsibility for their own health
and physical wellbeing’ (Learning Outcome 3.2, p. 32).
‘Children are confident and involved learners’ (Learning
Outcome 4, p. 34).
Steps
-It requires educators to follow the learning outcomes and encouraging children to feed themselves when possible but assist them if they struggle.
-Mealtimes should be relaxed and happy. Suggestions include:
Let children explore food by touching and expect some mess.
- Give babies an extra spoon so they can practice
feeding themselves.
-Encourage toddlers to help clean their faces and
hands after meal times.
I'm still on stuck how the word this question.
Kind regards

Re: Providing healthy food and drinks-supporting 0-2 feeding
I'm also stuck on this question to -
List three resources that you could provide to the other educator to increase their knowledge of healthy eating for under two and the benefits of allowing children to feed themselves.

For your first question I think what you put is good. You got the right idea. You can just add the EYLF points you mentioned and then add the strategies. The following may help give you more ideas as well:
Promoting EYLF Outcomes
For the second question just google information on healthy eating for babies etc.
Hope this helps,
