How Best to Introduce My 3 Yr Old's Vegetarianism to Others

[Guest guest]

Hi - I am new here - this may be an old question but ...

 

I want to know how others have introduced the fact of their child's

vegetarianism in social situations, i.e. playschool, birthday

parties,

to others who don't know anything about their family.

 

Now that my 3 yr old daughter is getting involved in more social

settings the topic is going to come up. Her dad and I have been

vegetarian for 11 yrs, and quite frankly don't care what anyone else

thinks about us, but for my daughter's sake I want to handle this the

most sensitive/appropriate way I can. I want to convey that we are

proud and unambiguous, but I do not want to alienate people I do not

know when doing so.

 

Does anyone have a " pat answer " or standard, concise explanation they

use in these situations?

 

Thanks!!!!! I need your advice.
