It’s not easy to get kids to try new foods. Most research
suggests it takes an average of ten to twelve attempts before a child will try
something new. However, that same research suggests that involving your
children in the actual process of cooking a meal, exponentially increases the
likelihood of that child trying a new food group.
Learning about food and cooking is an active way to help
breed a sense of culinary adventure. If you have a child, today when you cook
let him/her help set the table, rinse the veggies and measure the food which
are all safe tasks for a little one.
Happy Cooking!
