If fruits and vegetables aren't in the house, kids can't eat them. Preference Kids like the sweet taste of fruit, but getting them to eat vegetables can be a struggle. Don't give up.
Kids can learn to like vegetables it's simply a matter of taste and experience.
Remember that some kids need to taste a new food up to 14 times before they accept it. Allow kids to help decide which fruit or vegetable will be eaten at each meal or snack period. Involve kids in recipe selection, produce shopping and preparation of mealtime fruit and vegetable dishes. Copyright 1999 Baylor College of Medicine. All Rights Reserved.
