Mealtime can be a real struggle in many households and parents may find themselves feeling like short-order cooks after the day is done. Mealtime burnout is real, and it can affect kids and parents a lot.
Many experts suggest trying to make mealtime fun and stress-free. While that’s easier said than done, if there’s too much pressure on getting kids to eat, let alone eat something healthy, the whole meal can end up blowing up in your face… literally. “Nonchalance is the ideal dinner-table vibe,” writes dietician Sally Kuzemchak in an article for Parents. “Kids shouldn’t sense that what they eat will make or break your mood. I don’t let food trigger power struggles because I know I’ll lose every time. So I put the food on the table, then sit back and enjoy my meal. Makes everyone a lot happier.”
However your family does food, we know that these adorable dinnerware sets for kids will make it more fun. From adorable animals to baby’s first dinner set, these are our picks for the 10 best kids dinnerware sets.
