While eating dinner tonight with my 20 month old, I started to feel something blog-worthy. As I watched her stuff her face full of fresh squash, beans, carrots, broccoli and grapes it put a huge smile on my face. One of the things I repeatedly hear from other parents is that their children won't eat healthy. A typical comment from them may be, "All my kid wants to eat is macaroni and cheese and chicken tenders". I always chuckle at this and want to say, "You are in charge of what they're eating! Stop giving it to them!" However, I usually don't say anything close to that because it's a touchy topic.
My point is, if you give kids good, healthy food from an early age, they will choose good, healthy food EVERY SINGLE TIME. I can put cookies and veggies in front my child and she always goes for the veggies :) Now that makes me a proud mama!
And boy does she love her un-processed meat :)
