Many children are picky eaters. This can affect their health
during the time when nutrition is especially essential: their early year of
development. To some parents, feeding their picky child can be a very difficult
task, especially when he doesn’t like the food he needs most. However, you can
now make him eating vegetables or other important foods by making the meals fun
for him.

Instructions
1.
Turn meals into funny times by decorating. For example, you can draw a
funny face on a pizza by using peperoni for eyes, a slice green pepper for nose
and tomato sauce for a mouth. Or you can put raisins on peanut butter-filled
celery and tell him that these are small cute insects climbing a tree.
2.
Only offer him once choice so he doesn’t get stubborn and ask for
another food item. This can be quite effective if you’re trying to get her
eating vegetables. This means that you only offer her vegetable and don’t bring
out another food item until she eat has eaten some.
3.
Allow the child to join in the cooking process. This can encourage him
to eat as he has helped with the cooking and may want to taste the results of
his work. For example, you can ask him to cut the mushrooms for the stir-fry
dish and temp him to try the food.

4.
Do not bribe your child with ice cream or other sweets if he finishes
what’s on his plate. Some parents think that this is effective; but in fact,
this can convince your child that healthy food is an obstacle to overcome
before he can eat dessert or snack.
5.
Cleverly hide healthy food in the food that your child loves. For
instance, you can hide broccoli under cheese sauce, the strong taste of the
sauce will mask much of the vegetable taste that he don’t like. Or you can add
vegetables into pizza.
