Feeding toddlers can be hard, but research sheds insight into how to help children learn to enjoy a variety of foods and recognize when they are hungry and full.

"Play is so fundamental to healthy development that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child has long deemed it a basic human right, and as a signatory, Canada is obligated to uphold this right." theconversation.com/our-kids-rec... @theconversation.com #Play #ECinCanada

Our kids’ recess at school is essential to well-being and learning — and shouldn’t be scaled back

Time to play, move, connect with peers and breathe is a vital part of learning and essential to academic motivation.
