What are some tips on how to get my child to eat vegetables?
assistant
1. Start by introducing a few different types of vegetables at each meal, and make sure they're cooked in a way that your child likes.
2. Try adding a dollop of hummus or guacamole to the vegetables for an extra flavor boost.
3. Make it fun! Get creative with vegetable-based snacks like carrot sticks, zucchini noodles, and roasted cauliflower.
4. Let your child help you prepare the vegetables. They'll be more likely to try them if they've had a hand in preparing them.
5. Offer small portions of vegetables first before offering larger ones. This will encourage your child to eat more.
6. If your child is refusing to eat their vegetables, don't force them. Instead, offer other healthy options such as fruit, whole grains, or lean proteins.
