Mindfulness

Blindfold Taste Test from Very Well Family:

"It’s easy to scarf down food without paying attention to the taste. Get your child to be more in tune with his
taste buds by doing a blindfolded taste test. Blindfold your child and give him a small bite of a specific food, like a
banana or a strawberry. Tell him to move the food around in his mouth for a minute and see if he can tell you
what it is.”
