#NutritionWeek #NutritionTip #FruitHack for fussy toddlers!
Long post alert. I'm weaving in my own toddler story as well.
I studied in a French nursery for one year (that's a different story!). And for a snack, we were told to bring one fruit everyday. We would all sit together in a circle and eat our own fruit. But before eating, we were expected to say the name of the fruit in French, which we did! (that was the only french i learnt, and have forgotten after 40 years so please don't quiz me or tag me on french questions!!!!)
Long story short, that ensured we ate at least one fruit everyday (oh and we had to bring different fruits on different days!)
Now when my childoo was a young toddler, i had this brainwave and suggested something to the nursery/kg/1st std teachers every year. HAVE A FRUIT BREAK! They would have a regular recess, but being small, wouldn't be able to eat much at one time. So I suggested, an hour before they left school, give them a short fruit break! And thankfully her class teachers agreed those 3 years! All I would do is chop one fruit into bite sized pieces and put it in the small box inside the tiffin.
Worked like magic for the whole class!
I actually miss that stage where teachers and kids were open to fruit ideas! Now she refuses to carry a fruit. So I have to manage to squeeze it in between lunch and her 5pm milk time!! Phew! Not easy now that she is a tween!
How do you ensure your baby/childoo has at least one fruit a day?! Do share your #FruitHack !
