Where do you Come From?

Today I thought it would be fun to share where you come from with your child; your background, culture and so on.  To do this, start with an authentic dish from your background. 

I chose to make chapatti with my boys as my husband is Kenyan.  You can choose a simple or complicated dish- totally up to you.  The point is to engage with your child, cook with them and share a little bit about yourself and another culture they may not know about!

During the day, you can also consider watching a short video, finding a book at the library or even dressing up in traditional clothing from that culture.  Try to share your background with them as much as possible and in ways that your children will most enjoy.

Ok…I’m keeping it super short today!  Pick a dish to cook. Pick a few other activities to teach your child about where you come from. Happy Connecting!

I would love to know what foods and activities you chose to engage your child in.  Share in the comments below!
