Introduce your native food to your kids. Just because they are domiciled in a country does not mean you should not teach them delicacies from your homeland.

I noticed my son does not like eating spicy food, so I make it very light. I also get them involved when I am cooking. We eat together and he wants to roll the balls of fufu (eba) like I do.

I don’t force all the delicacies; he gets to choose which he wants. I am proud to tell you my child loves fried rice prepared the Nigerian way.

Above all, set limits and have a clear and consistent rule your children can follow while you should never forget to celebrate your child’s acts of kindness.
