Toddler Tip
We love to have a good ol' classic cookie around here, like a delicious shortbread cookie or decorate some sugar cookies together. AND I also love making variations of cookies that have less sugar and more fibre added! Try to talk about cookies neutrally, this isn't a "bad" or "good" food, it is simply a cookie. Sometimes you serve them, sometimes you don't! As a parent, it is your role to be in charge of the what, when and where of providing food, and it is your child's role to choose if they eat something and how much.
