1. Start with small amounts and gradually increase the portion size as they become accustomed to eating them.
2. Make sure the vegetables you serve are appealing and colorful.
3. Offer different types of vegetables, such as leafy greens, root vegetables, and cruciferous vegetables.
4. Try adding herbs or spices like garlic, onion, or ginger to make the vegetables more flavorful.
5. Serve vegetables with other foods that your child likes, like meat or fish.
6. Let children help prepare the vegetables by cutting, peeling, or chopping them.
7. Allow your child to choose their own vegetables at each meal.
8. Encourage your child to try new vegetables by asking questions about what they've eaten before.
9. Have fun with it! Play “I Spy” with vegetables and let your child guess what kind of vegetable is hiding in each item.
