Ever noticed your child getting cranky after a snack, or suddenly breaking out in a rash after dinner and wondered, “What did they eat today?”
As parents, it can be hard to keep track of what our kids eat and how it affects them. That’s exactly where the Food Journal Stimulation Worksheet from ibuerte.com comes in a fun, practical way to help your child (and you!) understand how food, activities, and emotions are all connected.
What’s Inside the Worksheet
The Food Journal Stimulation Worksheet is a simple daily tracker that helps children and parents observe patterns in their meals and reactions.
Each page includes space to record:
- Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
- Mood and sleep pattern
- Body reactions after eating (like itchiness, tummy ache, or fatigue)
- Activities done and screen time
- Even poop and urination details, because healthy digestion is just as important as healthy meals!
A sample journal is included to guide you through how to fill it out, complete with an example of how certain foods (like milk or eggs) can trigger reactions, and how lifestyle factors like sunlight and playtime can support better health.
Purpose of the Worksheet
The goal is simple yet powerful: to help kids and parents connect food, body, and mood.
By using this worksheet, families can:
- Identify which foods make their child feel great and which ones don’t
- Notice digestive issues or allergic reactions early
- Encourage kids to talk openly about how they feel after eating
- Build mindfulness and gratitude toward food and healthy living
