You know your child is going to lunge for them right away. I ve learned not to ban these things entirely because it can create feelings of being deprived and wanting to have it even more. I put limits on it, making sure my daughter knows these are sometimes foods for special occasions. I also take the necessary steps to boost my daughter s immune system before and after this invasion of junk to her body. At home, I make healthy treats using unrefined sweeteners, whole grains and unrefined oils.
Vegetables are the foods most likely to be shunned by children.
There are many creative ways to encourage your children to eat and love vegetables. Children need to eat frequently and snacking is important. Avoid nibbling or grazing on filling foods that are not nutrient-rich or filling up on juice or soda. Make a snack of creatively appealing fruits or vegetables. Serving them with healthy dips makes them more fun.
