Challenges in providing nutritious snacks and meals for kids

[Yulia M]

I know children can be very picky, and my job would be to provides variety of fruits and veggies, and try for it to be presented in an entertaining and attractive way, where children would want to try it. I would have a fun talk with them, about importance of eating well and growing strong and healthy. The most challenging aspect of this, would be to provide something that all children would try to enjoy and eat.

The challenges that we are facing in our child care program is that we are not provided with healthy choices and/or enough for the kids to have seconds if they wish too. We tell the kids that if they have left overs in their lunch box, they can snack on that.
