Kids may need to be reminded to eat their greens, brush their teeth, and keep their elbows off the table, but no one needs to remind them to enjoy their candy—especially when it’s a specialty treat. Photo copyright Marta Rostek | SXC.

Nibble Tip
Teach kids to develop their palates by having a weekly tasting of something familiar to them. It can be different brands of cream cheese, vanilla ice creams, chocolate bars, cupcakes, muffins. Create a list of terms—sweet/salty, dense/light, spicy/bland, dry/moist—and different flavors that they can look to identify. Rather than just, “I don't know why, I just like it,” they’ll soon be more articulate than many adults. Make it a game to keep adding to your list of terms each week.
