Includes tips and handouts from Hollis Bass, MS, RD and Carol Meerschaert, RD. "I wrote this kit after years of working with my son to prepare healthful and delicious food. Now he helps out in the kitchen and the grocery store, and his repertoire of healthy food the he can make and eat has increased dramatically (it includes beans/legumes, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits). He has experienced gardening and enjoys preparing his own meals. We accomplished all this without a struggle, an unkind word, or bribery! I used creative ideas to engage his interest, and now I want to share what we did. The activities are simple and do not require elaborate equipment or a lot of time. All that you need is quality time with your child, knowledge, persistence, and our fun activities."
