My Food Journal: A food journal just for kids

By Pauline McKinney

It's dinner time, and after sorting through what feels like hundreds of "kid-friendly" recipes, you go out and buy expensive ingredients you've never used, to try this one recipe that guarantees kids will love it, only to be met with a disappointed look and a refusal to try your delicious meal. If this has happened to you- I feel your pain! As the mother of picky eaters, I have experimented relentlessly on how to get my kids to eat new foods. One of my biggest successes was this food journal that I created for my kids. Not only did it create a feeling of excitement to document the foods they tried, but it also taught them to start talking about food in terms of food groups, textures, and flavors. I stopped hearing words like "yucky", and started hearing words like "crunchy", "salty", and "mushy". Also, kids get to work on their writing skills- learning to spell the foods they try. My kids also enjoy going back and seeing the different foods they have tried. If you're looking for new ways to help make eating fun, or to help your child learn new words to tell you what they like and don't like- try this journal!
