Author: Sharon Hopkins Many parents strive to ensure that their children eat
vegetables. Some meet with complete success, others with very
little success. Veggies contain many vitamins, minerals and
other essential nutrients that a body needs to main good health
and energy. They help protect against the effect of aging and
reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
If you want your child to eat vegetables, improve your own
attitude towards eating them. Early in age, child tends to
mimic either or both parents for almost everything. If you as a
parent dislike any particular vegetable, your child will do the
same.
How you eat and what you eat affects your child directly. If
you want your child to eat something that you dislike, you have
to make an attempt to eat it first and then encourage your child
to try a spoonful or plateful of it. It is not easy to get
children to like any new food the first time. Keep
reintroducing them from time to time.
Some tricks of trade that you can try to get your child to eat
vegetables.
- Blend vegetables in a blender and add them to spaghetti sauce
or liven up any non-veg dish.
- Keep a plateful of green salad, either in raw or grated form.
You can toss up a salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, celery,
lettuce, carrots, cabbage, onion, and radish and so on. You can
have salads either at mealtime or in between meals, as a snack.
- While making sandwiches for lunch, add lettuce, tomato slice
or carrots in between. Chicken, tuna or pasta salads taste
great with dash of vegetables in it.
- If your child thrives on noodles, add boiled or lightly
steamed vegetables to it.
- While making pizza, add chopped broccoli, spinach, etc in
addition to other toppings.
- Vegetables with a dash of melted cheese added to soups
changes the flavor altogether.
