What can I do? You ask……….
There are many things that a Parent, Grandparent, Nanny and Teacher can do:
First and Foremost your job is to make sure there are safety protocols in place to protect the children from harm.
Make sure the food is handled in a sanitary way, and that proper hand washing procedures are in place.
Engage children in conversation.
Describe what children are doing.
Ask Questions about where food comes from.
Pose questions to encourage children to talk about what they are doing.
Make observations.
Model Positive behavior
Ask probing questions to encourage children to think logically and problem solve
Follow these suggestions and you will be on your way to cooking with your own Lil’ Munchies.
Cheers,
