They’ll Eat the Broccoli… Once We Stop Telling Them To
Wiggle Talk - A Podcast For Parents
Making Mealtime Fun and Engaging
This chapter focuses on transforming mealtimes into enjoyable experiences for children, encouraging curiosity and connection rather than compliance regarding food choices. It discusses practical strategies for involving children in meal preparation and highlights the significance of family meals in shaping positive eating habits. By exploring the introduction of diverse foods and the importance of textures and flavors, the speakers aim to foster a love for food that leads to cherished family moments.
Dinner doesn’t have to be a battle. Author, educator and self-confessed food nerd Alice Zaslavsky (aka Alice in Frames) joins Simon and Lachy for a joy-filled chat about raising curious eaters. From broccoli FOMO to the power of shared meals, Alice shares clever, practical ways to help kids build a positive relationship with food - no bribery required.
