As a parent, you want to give your children healthy foods. That is one way you let them know you care about them. Most parents spend a lot of time thinking about what foods to buy and what meals to make. It is only natural for you to want your children to like the food you make for them.
Some parents say that mealtimes are hard times.
Many children are picky eaters. Others cannot sit still for long. When children or grownups are upset or hungry, it is harder to be kind. Your feelings can get hurt when the food you give is not wanted. Mealtimes help children learn a lot about life and love, giving and receiving.
