- I would think I am somewhat of a healthy eater. I eat some salty and sweet treats here and there when I crave them. Most of the time, I just crave coffee, that’s what I mostly intake. If I were around children I think my nutrition would change a lot with children, because what I eat is what the children would see and copy. If they see me eating more unhealthy food then they would do the same, but if they see me eating healthy foods, then I would be more encouraging for them because they would see me eating what they are eating as well not only them.
- During breakfast time, I somewhat encourage conversation. One experience that I remember from breakfast time was when the children were eating toast and applesauce, so when I asked a student how the toast was, they corrected me by telling me that it was cinnamon toast, not normal toast. I then asked the students if they like cinnamon toast and they agreed they liked what they were eating. I then started talking about applesauce and a few students were using their hands to eat applesauce, so I told them to “let us use our spoons and scoop out our applesauce so we don’t spill it on the table.” I remember a toddler mimicked me and said “scoop, scoop, scoop.” The teacher was impressed by the fact that the student repeated what I said and actually used the spoon to pick their applesauce rather than using their hands.
