Social Story Trying New Foods

Description

Some children don’t like to try new foods, but we all need a balanced diet to get the right amount of nutrients to keep us healthy.  This social story opens the dialogue for trying new foods, explaining why we need to try different foods and how touching and smelling foods first can help us to desensitize to them.  Allowing familiarity over their textures and sensory aspects.  By reading social stories to children regularly, they begin to grasp a deeper understanding of why.  They can begin to relate to the stories, which can teach them about feelings and emotions which surround certain social issues.  Other social stories are available to download separately.
