Children are not usually given very many choices when it comes to planning meals. So, why not allow them some choices? Allowing them to make simple; yet, nutritious choices encourages them to taste new things and gives them a sense of independence. For instance, at breakfast time you could offer them a warm bowl of oatmeal with a brightly arranged saucer of fresh cut fruit toppings. A colorful assortment of foods is attractive to kids but also provides the necessary vitamins which kids need on a daily basis. When it comes to lunch, encourage your children to help prepare foods whenever possible. Assisting in the preparation of meals not only teaches them about how to prepare food and the importance of kitchen safety, it also gets little ones excited about eating healthy. Even snack time can be healthy and fun. Children love finger foods. So get creative in the kitchen and remember everything is better when dippin'. You don't necessarily need fattening chip dip. Veggies, such as celery, is great with ranch, melted peanut butter or even cream cheese.

Paul celebrated her first eBook publication last week after a long, long process of digitally modifying and coloring the previous version of her hand drawn, hand colored (with marker...lol) children's book, I Can't Wait Any Longer. I Can't Wait Any Longer was first brought into publication in a paperback version in 2003. This book was inspired by her 3 children who 'couldn't wait to see it published.' Since then, Shelby has assisted others with the editing, writing and/or digital illustrating of their written works for publication. Years later and again inspired by her seven children, who pushed her to journey into writing her own eBooks, Shelby released I Can't Wait Any Longer as a modified eBook. You can find out more information about this book at www.creativityatyourfingertips.weebly.com or amazon.com/author/shelbypaul. Stay tuned...more to come.
