What are some tips for getting my child to eat more vegetables?
assistant
1. Start by offering a variety of vegetables, including leafy greens like spinach and kale.
2. Make sure the vegetables you serve your child are cooked or lightly steamed so they're easier to chew.
3. Try incorporating vegetables into other foods your child likes such as soups, stews, casseroles, salads, and sandwiches.
4. Give your child small portions at first and gradually increase their intake over time.
5. Offer your child different textures and flavors of vegetables, such as crunchy carrots and creamy avocado.
6. Let them help prepare the vegetables by washing, chopping, or slicing them.
7. Have fun with it! Get creative and make vegetable-themed snacks like carrot sticks, zucchini fries, and beet hummus.
