Food is a frequent topic of
discussion at our house, and it seems like we’re not the only ones. As our son is
nearing six months of age, I am starting to give a lot of thought to how to
introduce him to solid foods and then how to encourage him to become “a good
eater.” It seems like our friends with young children are struggling with these
same issues. My intention with this blog is to document our family’s experience
of how we’ve chosen to feed our child and what we learn along the way.
Food goals for Henry
·
A child who enjoys eating a wide variety of
foods
·
A child who grows up healthy and strong
·
A child who appreciates where food comes from
·
A family that loves cooking and eating together
It is my aim to foster in Henry a
love of good food and an appreciation for cooking and eating as a family. By
introducing him to a wide variety of delicious and healthy food, I am hopeful
that we can prevent Henry from becoming a picky eater. Looking down the road, I
want to find ways to avoid future food struggles with a toddler by encouraging
Henry to participate in growing and preparing what we eat.
