Life is education, education is life.

Food education is not a matter of a class or a meal, but life education, a subtle process.

Adults need to consciously guide children to feel and pay attention to all aspects of "food" in their daily lives, so that children can learn many things in practice that cannot be learned in textbooks: Teaching children to feel the real taste of food can pass on the appreciation of nature.

reverence; knowledge and love for other creatures or plants in nature; gratitude for food; team and collaborative spirit, etc.

All of this is a process of cultivating children's inner enrichment.

01 Home Education Promotion In the process of implementing the food education series, the importance of food education and the meaning behind it can be popularized with parents through various forms, so that food education can be truly implemented in all aspects of children's lives.

middle.

Parents conducted a questionnaire survey based on their children's performance at the dinner table after returning home. The survey included whether the meal time was too long, whether the sitting posture was correct, whether they were picky eaters, whether they ate while watching TV, whether the posture of holding chopsticks was correct, whether they chatted while eating,

How hard and fast you chew, how big your appetite is, and how you can express your opinions freely.

Help parents better understand which foods are healthy through warm reminders or lectures, which will be better for the growth and development of young children, etc.

Introducing seasonal recipes for spring, summer, autumn and winter to parents, and recommending recipes and snacks that are popular among children.

Conduct parent lectures or parent salons to understand or exchange the following contents: "The Importance of Breakfast" "How to Prevent "Summer Loss of Appetite"" "The Secret of Milk" "How to Eat to Prevent Colds" "How to Be Environmentally Friendly when Buying and Cooking Food

》...02 Cultivate correct eating habits Parents must consciously cultivate the habit of eating breakfast, lunch and three meals on time in their children from an early age, especially breakfast.

Let children master the rhythm of eating on time from an early age.

Know how to eat hygienicly and wash hands before and after meals. You can also guide children to thank the person who prepared the meals before eating and to thank the delicious food of each meal. After eating, they also learn to tell others: "I am full, thank you" before leaving the table;

When eating, work hard to eat every grain of rice and every vegetable leaf; clean up the garbage by yourself after meals, leaving no residue.

03 Distribute monthly/weekly recipes to families Every month, Japanese kindergartens will distribute a “Food Education” memo.

On one side is the recipe for the month, with many items listed in a table, down to what to eat on a certain day of the month: The first column is the name of the dish; the second column is the calories and the nutritional content of the day's recipe (salt, protein, fat, calories, etc.

); the third column is the name of the ingredients, which is subdivided into three items, including what hot rice and hot dishes are, and what ingredients are used; what meat products are included (even what part of the chicken or pig is eaten must be written)

Above) What effects does this food have on children’s physical development? It’s very detailed.

The last column is the details of the afternoon snack.

Parents can post it on the refrigerator at home and discuss the next day's school menu with their children every night. For example, they will eat purple rice in kindergarten today and chicken tomorrow. This method will also help mobilize their children's enthusiasm for going to kindergarten.

04 Launch a competition of hometown dishes. Food culture is an important part of regional, ethnic and even national culture, and a precious intangible cultural heritage.

The rural food culture, which has been accumulated for many years, not only contains a large number of healthy and reasonable ingredients, but its existence itself is also the emotional link between residents and their hometown, and is the memory of their hometown.

Nowadays, due to living conditions, many children have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but do not know what the specialties of their hometown are. Or due to changes in the social environment, many children have followed their parents away from their hometowns since they were young, or have settled abroad with their parents.

I have never tasted the taste of my hometown, and I don’t know the story of my hometown.

Kindergartens can carry out the "Hometown Food Competition" activity, and develop activity plans based on specific circumstances. Children can be invited to learn about the food and cooking methods of their hometown with their parents at home. Parents and children can participate in the battle, and children can help cook and arrange dishes.

Through activities, we vigorously promote "local cuisine" and promote the planting and protection of specialty crops in various regions, so as to save traditional food culture and guide children to master the breadth and depth of Chinese traditional food culture and pay attention to local specialty food.

Actively inherit the local and traditional Chinese food culture and cultivate a love for hometown and motherland.

05 Regular weekly lunch days. Some Japanese kindergartens have canteens, but only provide lunch three times a week. The other two days are "lunch days", which is also part of "food education".
