CHILD NUTRITION CONCERNS

Let’s Move! CHILD CARE
Former First Lady, Michelle Obama:
“Young kids can be picky eaters. They often assert their
independence through eating, or not eating, what they're
offered. It’s easier to serve foods you know they will like
and actually eat, without all of the meltdowns and frowns.
What’s easiest isn’t always best. Food preferences develop at an early age, even in infancy.
As a child care provider, you have a powerful opportunity to
teach kids’ taste buds to appreciate wholesome foods —
before they can learn differently. With a little patience, even
the fussiest young diners can learn to like healthy foods.”
