When you talk with your children about nutritious foods, you’re helping to build both their vocabulary and healthy eating habits!  \nHere are some tips on how to make the most of everyday moments—like grocery shopping and meal time—by talking, reading, and singing about healthy foods throughout the day:  \nTALK about healthy foods  \nShare fun conversations during meal and snack time.  \n• Use words like “sweet, creamy, crunchy” to describe how food feels, tastes and smells.  \n• Count or compare the different shapes and sizes of food. Ask,“How many strawberries are on your plate?” or “Which apple is bigger? Biggest?” This supports your child’s early math skills.  \n• Where does food come from? Talk  \nREAD together every day  \nIt’s never too early to read with your baby.  \n• Read words you see around you at the grocery store or farmer’s market.  \n• Read books about food on the way to and from grocery shopping.  \n• At bedtime, cuddle and read books related to your culture and the food you eat.  \nSing Fun Food Songs  \nSinging can help get your child excited about healthy foods.  \n• Have a fun, healthy food singalong with your baby! You can singsongs like “Fruit Salad” or “Applesand Bananas.”  \n• While cooking with your child, make up a fun song about the ingredients you’re using to cook.  \n• Sing about the benefits of eating fruits and vegetable. For example,“Carrots are good for your eyes!”  \nabout how different types of food, like bananas or apples, grow.  \n• Make up fun food rhymes like banana , zanana , fanana!  \nFor more tips and information, [visit](visit talkingisteaching.org)[ talkingisteaching.org](visit talkingisteaching.org).","cbCairtrlmSlTur7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairtrlmSlTur7","pdf",533456,"English","# Talk About Healthy Foods\n# Read Together Every Day\n# Sing Fun Food Songs","[{\"question\":\"How can talking about food during meals benefit a child?\",\"answer\":\"Discussing food helps build a child's vocabulary, introduces descriptive language, and can reinforce early math skills by counting or comparing food sizes and quantities.\"},{\"question\":\"What are some ways to incorporate reading into food-related activities?\",\"answer\":\"You can read words found at grocery stores, read food-related books during commutes, or cuddle up with books about your culture and traditional foods at bedtime.\"},{\"question\":\"How does singing help children with healthy eating?\",\"answer\":\"Singing makes healthy eating exciting and helps children learn about the benefits of different foods, such as singing about how carrots contribute to eye health.\"}]","Meal Time Is Talk Time - Family Conversation Tips | PDF",1790858205]
