When children do not eat vegetables, parents can start by guiding them slowly, not letting them see vegetables with their naked eyes, and taking the trouble to cook them.
1. Slow guidance: If children do not eat vegetables, parents can slowly guide them to eat vegetables and explain the benefits of eating vegetables to them. Don’t force children to eat vegetables, as the more you force them, the more likely they will be offended.
2. Don’t let children see vegetables: Parents can mix vegetables with other foods, such as sandwiches or hamburgers, which contain vegetables but are not visible from the outside.
3. Taking the trouble to cook: Instead of using the traditional way of cooking vegetables, you can make vegetable juice and vegetable puree, make desserts and pastries with vegetables, and put together vegetables into cute shapes, etc., to attract children to eat vegetables.
If children do not eat vegetables for a long time, there may be malnutrition. Parents are advised to bring their children to specialist clinics for feeding counseling, which should improve the situation of children not eating vegetables as early as possible.
