Instead of rushing home and unpacking backpacks and starting homework and thinking about dinner, today, we slowed down. We made some tea (coffee for me) and we sat outside and took in the beautiful Fall afternoon. We watched the wind blow the leaves off of the trees, we let the sun shine on our faces, we talked about what we loved about the Fall. How does this relate to feeding children well? Everything we eat revolves around seasons. Anticipating times of the year, holidays, specific foods, talking about food memories and when they happened. When you teach your children to love and appreciate the seasons then they love and appreciate what those seasons have to offer, including the food. So try this. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but make it sometime soon.
Just three easy steps:
1. Grab your children.
2. Hurry outside.
3. Then, slow down.
Peace and Health,
christy
