Does Your Child Only Eat Pasta? The Secret That Will Make Them Love Broccoli

Does your little one throw a tantrum at the sight of greens on their plate?

You are not alone - 80% of parents go through this.

But there is a way to turn a reluctant eater into a gourmet, and it doesn’t require hiding vegetables in puree. The secret is involvement. Take your child to the store and let him choose “his” vegetable.

Let him touch broccoli, smell zucchini, compare colors. At home, let him become a chef: tear lettuce with his hands, cut soft cucumbers with a plastic knife, sprinkle cheese on a dish.

Say: "This is your culinary masterpiece - only you can try it first!" Another trick is edible drawings.

Place a face made of boiled carrots, hair made of spinach, and a smile made of corn on a plate. Take a photo of the “painting” and offer to eat the masterpiece before it spoils.

If the child is stubborn, arrange a "tasting for toys". Place teddy bears and dolls at the table, lay out tiny portions and let them "praise" the food. Children often repeat after their "pets".

And don't forget about personal example: if you yourself wince at the sight of zucchini, the child will copy your behavior.

After a month of such games, he himself will ask for “green trees” (broccoli) for dinner.
