Supporting your child to try new foods
We use our food senses every day to decide which foods we want to eat at any particular time. By tuning into our taste buds and listening to our body signals we decide which foods to choose to nourish ourselves.
Encouraging your little one to explore a wide range of food colours, textures, sounds, smells and flavours and guiding them to understand their body signals of hunger and fullness are the first steps to nurturing a life long healthy relationship with food.
The whole family can benefit from developing food sense. Participating in fun food activities can re-ignite food memories for friends and family as well as sharing new positive food experiences with your little ones.
Exploring food smells, textures and flavours together can help inspire new recipes to try at home or even having a go at growing your own.
