How to get Children to Eat Their Veggies
1. Fruits and Veggies are colorful. This means you can use them as a medium for art. Ask your child to arrange them to make a picture on their palette (plate). Kids that think of healthy food as fun are more likely to eat it. 2. Instead of emphasizing how healthy a food is, emphasize something about it that is more appealing to a child such as it's color,shape, or ability. Be creative, and exaggerate if you have to. So instead of "Johnny, eat your carrots, they are good for you," you might try "Johnny, carrots are good for your eyes. If you eat enough of them, you could get x-ray vision!" 3. Grow your own veggies: Children love Chia pets because they can watch their efforts grow into a plant shaped like a gorilla. Well why not watch their efforts grow into a tomato or corn stalk? They will still love it and be more likely to eat what they created themselves. 4. You can sneak them into other foods. For example, shredded carrots can go on almost anything from salads to sandwiches, and most kids will never know they are there. 5. Make veggies of different colors at each meal and let your child choose which one to eat. Having a choice will make him feel empowered, while you still get him to eat healthy. 6. Kids learn by example. Eat them yourself. |
