🍳First, try not to put too much pressure on you

🍳First, try not to put too much pressure on yourself or your kiddos when you’re cracking eggs together. It’s a skill we can take for granted but cracking eggs isn’t easy! (I mean, I still mess up and get shells in the bowl sometimes, don’t you?)
I came up with this little rhyme while teaching preschool cooking classes. It helps us all slow down and remember the steps it takes to crack an egg. Hope it’s helpful in your kitchen too!
…
I usually start teaching kids to crack eggs around 2 years old. Once you explain the rules around cracking eggs (not putting hands in your mouth, washing hands after, etc.), they are pretty good about listening and following your lead. If not, just redirect them to do something else and try again another time.
Always crack eggs into a separate bowl so any shell pieces are easy to remove.
Let me know if you have any questions!

We can search and find all the advice, recipes, and tips to maybe ease the stress of feeding kids. But sometimes, the best way to feel better is to know we aren’t alone.
I put this question box up in my stories today and invited you all to vent or just be honest whether positive or negative.
Swipe 👈 to some of the replies.
Do you see anything that resonates with how you feel?
If you’re tired, exhausted, you aren’t alone.

Feeding kids is hard. It’s so hard for me too and I’m supposed to be the expert 😛.
I will continue to acknowledge the struggle and help all the moms, dads, and caregivers out there hopefully feel a little less alone.
But also, my goal here at happy kids kitchen is to help you find more JOY with food and more connection in the kitchen with your family. I’m excited to continue to share recipes and posts that lead us all in that direction.
Sending you all hugs. Know that just because it’s hard doesn’t mean that you aren’t doing a great job.
😊💕

Number 1 way to help your child enjoy more foods??
Let them customize their own snacks!
Why?
✔️ You can easily serve favorite foods with a small exposure to new/non favored options.
✔️ It’s fun! And having fun creates positive associations with the food and eating. (Making kids more likely to enjoy food now or in the future.)
✔️Handing over some control helps kids feel more invested in and excited about the food.
