Tiger Bites!
This was one of my son's 1st belt loops! And this is when he discovered some were gold. LOL
Most of these you can do at home with your son, which was great for us.
Req 1: Identify 3 good food choices and 3 no good choices.
Ok, I went to the govt website they had in the book but it was confusing for us. So, I just pulled up a food pyramid chart..LOL.. old school sometimes works best. Explain whats good and why. Explain about bad food and why.
Then you have your son fill out the chart. Easy!
Req 2: Show you know the difference between a fruit and veggie. Eat one of each.
Ok, when I looked at other blogs on this, alot of people brought their den to the grocery store and learned about it there. We did not get to, so I brought my kid on a shopping trip to 2 different stores. One was HEB, which ours has a wonderful selection of fruits and veggies. We bought the yellow and purple little carrots. Then we brought him to an asian market, which had some awesome but different stuff. We bought a Dragon Fruit ( which didn't taste like anything for $5) and a white Coconut ( the one that is still in the green casing that was hard as heck to break). We discovered that the coconut is way different like that and we all loved it. It was not fry like the normal stuff.
Of course I lost the pictures of us trying to open the coconut but it was hard work.
Req 3: Pick a job to help your family at mealtime,. Help everyday for one week.
Clean off table shouldn't sound so bad but Oh my gosh, the complaints I had everyday...ugh. And the funny thing was, it's mostly his stuff. Like his electronics, books, toys... I thought afterward he would keep the table cleaner by picking up his stuff but NOPE! Good luck on this one!
Req 4: Show you can keep yourself and personal area clean.
They demonstrate how to wash your hands properly. I showed my son and told him to wash his hands after using the bathroom. Laziness has stopped him from doing that. When I commented on it, he said the hand sanatizer gets his hands cleaner. I agreed but since he doesn't use that, then maybe he should try washing his hands... LOL
Req 5: What foods can you eat with your fingers
Yup, this can really help. My son likes to pick up everything with his hands to eat. So it was nice to teach him, only if it lasted a little while.
Req 6: Plan and make a good snack choice to share with your den
He chose one of his faves- It's a cracker with peanut butter and bananas on it.
The kids loved it. NOTE: I checked with the other moms 1st to make sure there were no peanut allergies. I would suggest you do the same.
Congrats, your child is done with Tiger Bites!
