The last thing your toddler wants is to eat vegetables in their meals. Do not worry as yours is not the only child. Almost every parent these days goes through the same scenario. One of the easiest ways to make your child like vegetables is by showing them that even you love eating them too.
Kids have this tendency to copy things they see. So, if you want your tiny copycat to start eating veggies, then the most effective way is to eat your vegetables with gusto. This will motivate your baby to at least take a bite.
You may get discouraged if, at first, they don’t get the message. Keep up the efforts, and your child will eat their vegetables in no time.
If you are still worried about your child’s health and feel that she’s missing major nutrients, then all you have to do is to use smoke and mirrors to add veggies into their diet.
