Childcare Tip of the Week #6 — Kid Friendly Meals

No Comment |

Posted by: Amy Bryan on January 25, 2010

One of the challenges for some au pairs may be preparing meals for their host kids, and not only meals that are easy to prepare, but good for them too!

Many of the recipes you will find here, courtesy of Discovery Health, contain healthy ingredients and are not too difficult to prepare–some items require very little to no cooking, so they should be easy for everyone! If your kids are old enough, get them to help!

Be sure to involve your host parents as well.  If there is something new you want to try, be sure to check with them first.   There may be food allergies, or a history of such things, and it could be very dangerous to introduce or even expose your host kids to some food items; peanuts are a good example of this.  Some peanut allergies can be quite severe and could cause very serious health issues, so if you aren’t sure, ASK! It’s also helpful to ask, as some families follow special diets, like vegetarianism, for health or religious purposes.
