First Foods to Family Meals: Help your child to prepare and enjoy food with your family

This book is a look at how food shapes the life of a family. From the moment a child is welcomed into the family, there becomes a new focus on food, nutrition, and the connectedness we have during feedings. That connection grows as our children become independent eaters, contributors to family meals, and carers for others through food.This is the story of how we have used our Montessori training to cultivate a family who values food and community. We haven't always gotten it right, but as with anything, we keep trying. We hope to share with you what has worked for us. In our attempts to live slowly and in the moment with our children, we have had the amazing opportunity to watch our children each develop their own relationship with food and their own connection with family and community through food. We have three incredible children each with different personalities and a different orientation to the world.
