Featured Response 💬
“Our family focuses on fruits, veggies, and various sources of protein (plant and animal). It is important to us that our kids are introduced to as many foods as possible and are willing to try something each time it is offered, but they are never pressured to “clear their plate”. We talk about food as fuel for our body and the importance of nutrition with a healthy balance of yumminess.”
Love this balanced approach—introducing a variety of foods without the pressure is such a great way to build healthy habits and keep mealtime positive! -Danielle 😊
