Title:
Food and cultural integration .
A four
year old student in our class is from a different cultural back ground,
she is having a hard time eating the foods that we have offered her.
She is
so used to the foods that she eats at home.
Her mother
is a wonderful cook and she offers to bring some of the food that
the child eats at home one day of the week.
My question
is: How should I respond to this?
Linda
Answer:
Dear
Linda,
In order
to facilitate the integration of the child in a very new environment
cultural awareness is one of the aspects that should be taken into
consideration.
Allowing
her mother to bring food in your class would be a positive factor
in the integration of the child.
