Assess The Importance Of Food Presentation And Taste In Catering To Child Care Centre

To please their screaming unruly children, parents will do whatever they say, even if it means buying them an extra fry at a fast food restaurant, or a few sandwiches. Most “parents know that such meals are unhealthy, they are struggling in a “toxic environment” with little support or recognition for the challenges of raising children in such a world”(Purcell 3).

The first way FUSD can gather information is through student opinion. They do this by hosting a meeting with student groups; here FUSD has the opportunity to inform the students of what FUSD does and how their group can impact next year’s lunch by providing feedback.

If someone were to hand you a foreign object, give you no explanation as to what it was, and tell you to eat it, would you? Most sane adults would not; at least not without being given any further information. Yet this is the exact scenario many parents put their young children through when feeding them. Naturally, just as an adult would, infants and toddlers object to this practice and put up a fuss. They want to touch, mash, spread, and play with their food before consuming it. However, many parents are frustrated and aggravated by the mess their children make; thus they endeavor to discourage this behavior. In doing this parents actually negatively impact their child’s development. The manner in which a child is introduced to food sets

This article expresses that almost 82% of American kids less than 6 years old are in childcare. "So nourishment, exercise or physical action and other wellbeing issues are all being taken care of by persons other than the essential folks for a noteworthy number of hours every day."

I remember a time when I was working in an infant classroom and I had a “those parents” moment. It involved the parents of a 12 month old who was still strictly on baby food, which is provided by the center. When infants in the classroom turned roughly 9 months we would speak with parents about the introduction of table foods from our centers menu in addition to their normal meals/snacks. Each week we would give them a menu for the upcoming week for them to highlight items that they were comfortable with their child sampling to send back to us. This process is set up so that when the child turns one, they are transitioned over to the regular menu and no longer have baby food provided by the center and the parents would be responsible for supplying the meals. However, with the parents of this particular child they always sent back the menus with yogurt and applesauce highlighted. Unfortunately, without parent consent, we could not allow the child to sample any of the other table foods. It made me wonder why they were being so strict on the table foods. The Cultivating Good Relationships article helps to put an end to the “those parents” thoughts by giving strategies that help the situation by building relationships, instead of dwelling on the challenges.
