Eating family meals with toddlers helps them develop healthy eating habits. It encourages them to try new foods too. You can also get children more interested in food by letting them help you get family meals ready.
Why family meals with toddlers are important
Family meals can be a great chance for toddlers to learn about conversation and company, as well as food and eating.
If mealtimes are happy occasions where the family chats around the table, toddlers will look forward to meals and enjoy being there. They’ll see other members of the family enjoying new and nutritious foods, and want to do the same.
