CONTEXT OF - THERE'S A MOLE IN MY BOWL
"Hi Kelly and Allen I am really excited about your book, in our small setting we have some children who really struggle with meal times, it maybe part of additional needs or some children just like to eat the same things they eat at home!! We always follow the parents lead and start with what the child likes to eat at home, looking for healthy foods. Most times the child will accept new smells and textures over time, but some children, for various reasons, find meal times a real struggle and require lots of one to one support, as practitioners, finding a way to support the child, whilst remaining a healthy setting, is challenging when a child only likes a certain flavour or consistency, trying to offer a variation of foods, yet at the same time empowering our children to try new foods, eat healthy, or just enjoy mealtimes, can be overwhelming for the child. We have an amazing area SENCO, who offers consistent support, but I just feel if we can offer a story - we know how all children love a story - and your message about the story would I am sure, inspire our children who are struggling to find a way through this mind field of eating, and also offer a story for us all to enjoy. Cannot wait to read it . Sue" SUSAN and Graham emeny - Saturday, February 13, 2021
