Encourage healthy eating habits and start talking about what your child might like to eat for lunch! Here are some tips:

• Make it fun and educational! Children love the idea of trying to "eat a rainbow" as a way to eat healthy.
• Have meals together as a family and talk about your day to build oral language skills.
• Teach your children the importance of handwashing and using hand sanitizer to keep away germs. Have them practice doing it all by themselves to foster independence!
