Cultivating Curiosity: FOOD DIVERSITY
Series Overview
Cultivating Curiosity™ is a series rooted in connecting kids with their grown ups around complicated topics. Each edition focuses on exploring one "big" topic using a kid-friendly script, discussion questions, and a book list or additional resources for further exploration. When we make space for truth, healing will follow. Joining with kids in curiosity, trusting their capacity, and sitting together in the gray areas can help us all in growing toward collective liberation and a more inclusive world.
Topic:
Food Diversity
Talking to kids about diversity in general is important, but specifically exposing them to a variety of diverse foods an ways of eating is critical for raising kind, inclusive kids. While we can't control what our kids eat, we CAN control how we present, talk about, and approach unfamiliar foods with kids. This can help them by laying the foundation for being more willing to try new foods in the future, but it can also increase the likelihood of reacting to foods unfamiliar to them (in a friend's lunch at school, for example) in positive or neutral ways instead of harmful ones.
