I am a parenting cliche – I can’t tell you how many phrases come out of my mouth that make me sound like my own parents.. I am sure I’m not the only one who was told not to “play with your food”, but that is one phrase I won’t be repeating because I want my girls to understand and be curious about the ingredients we use, to try, to smell and to feel them first, and not just push them away. In fact, learning through play should be encouraged in all of us, in all aspects of life.
