Happy Meal Times for All the Family!
EMPOWERING INDEPENDENCE DURING MEALTIMES AND FAMILY TIME…
At doddl they believe that mealtimes are precious. They are an opportunity to enjoy shared experiences with our children and build life-long memories. It’s tricky to find time to sit and eat a meal together. But here are just some of the reasons why it’s important to make it happen as often as you can.
COMMUNICATION
Using mealtime as a great way to communicate with your children. Be it younger or older, be it what happened at school, how their feeling or simply how the overall day has been. This is a special time when a family can bond, plan and voice opinions and what’s to come as a family.
MORE VARIETY
Children who observe their parents eating a wider variety of foods can be more willing to try more and be less fussy. It is a case of ‘monkey see, monkey do’. This works especially well when siblings are also eating the same foods.
TABLE MANNERS
Investing time to sit and demonstrate table etiquette to your child. This means that you can instil in them the social skills that will pay dividends when both eating in and out of the home.
APPRECIATION FOR FOOD PREPARATION
Not only does a home-cooked meal mean your children’s nutrition will benefit, but once you get your children involved in the preparation of the meal, it will make them understand the effort that goes into cooking meals. You can then sit down proudly together to tuck in. Our doddl children’s knife is the perfect tool for your kids to safely learn how to chop veggies!
GENERAL HAPPINESS LEVELS
Research has shown that eating as a family has an overall impact on the general happiness of children, helping children to be more emotionally stable. So if sitting down together for family meal times seems an impossible task, try to introduce a few opportunities to share this time together. Even if just on weekends. Grab the cutlery, teach the kids how to lay the table, and get stuck in!
Our doddl cutlery equips you to tackle all of the above suggestions and in tandem intuitively teach your child to eat independently, in minutes, all on their own. And at doddl, we think that really matters, because for a child, ‘I can do it!’ is powerful, at mealtimes and far beyond, because the confidence it instils creates the foundations for them to blossom and grow into inspired adults who have the ability to inspire the world.
