Involving your kids in meal preparation fosters a sense of pride, responsibility, and excitement about the food they consume, creating a positive and enjoyable dining experience for the whole family.
Consistency is key when it comes to establishing healthy eating habits and routines for kids, providing stability, and fostering a positive relationship with food.
