Go to the park on the weekend and play tag football or Frisbee. Go on a nature hike with your family and turn it into a treasure hunt to discover the great outdoors. After dinner, take the family dog for a walk, or let him walk you as the case may be. According to the CRB study, children don t eat fruit and vegetables because they are not convenient to eat and they can be messy. Parents said they were too busy to cook at home, that it took too much time to prepare fresh foods, and that fresh produce was too expensive.
Fresh fruit can be messy.
Perhaps if you ask your child about which fruits they would prefer, for example apple slices, peeled or sectioned oranges or even grapes may be appealing to them. These steps can help to cut down on some of that mess. There is nothing worse than seeing those fresh vegetables you paid your hard-earned money for rotting away in the refrigerator s vegetable drawer. When you re at the grocery store, try visualizing your week. Imagine which nights you ll be able to cook, and try including easily prepared veggies on those evenings.
