Yours to Discover

In this, the second week of Nutrition Month, I'm going to discuss foods potential to discover: Foster healthy eating habits in children by teaching them to shop and cook.
 
In a culture that is increasingly relying on heavily processed, packaged and take-out foods, many children are growing up lacking basic food skills, including how to shop, cook and build a balanced meal. Teaching children from a young age, how to shop for and prepare healthy meals can set them up for a lifetime of healthy eating. 
​Shopping for and preparing healthy meals is also a great way to help your child learn new skills and build on lessons they learn in school.
  • Math: how to measure ingredients, work with fractions or make change at the grocery store.
  • Language: how to read a recipe or write a grocery list.
  • Science: why does an apple turns brown.
  • Health: what makes a healthy meal or snack.
  • Social skills: how to work together to accomplish a goal.
  • Social studies: what food is grown in Canada and in countries around the world.
  • Food skills: how to whisk, stir, chop, and scoop.

​Cooking is also a great way to spend some extra time with your children or to reconnect after a long day apart at work and school. You can also use it as an opportunity to keep your cultural roots alive by teaching your children some of your favourite traditional family recipes.
 
Getting children involved in meal preparation is fun and rewarding! For an easy school lunch that you and your child can make together, give this Rockin' Ranch Roll Up a try!

In life, we are doing things for us to discover something new that we can also share with others. Parents are our first teacher in life. They are the one who teaches us how to read, write, count simple things before we had school. The values in life can easily adapt by a child based on their environment at a young age and parents are the one who is responsible for this. This article is very helpful for readers to realize that children can discover a lot of things by themselves when parents help them to be a part of something.
