Vegetables are very beneficial to the growth of children, but most babies seem to be naturally resistant to certain vegetables. In order to get your baby to eat more vegetables, sometimes you coax, you persuade, and even intimidate, but your baby just won’t buy them. Let your child get closer to vegetables For children over 3 years old, to get them to eat more vegetables, you might want to try taking them to see and touch more vegetables. You can take them to the vegetable market and to the vegetable aisle of the supermarket and give them the opportunity to pick out vegetables with their own hands. After the vegetables are bought home, you can let your child help wash them, peel them, plate them, etc. You can also show him how the vegetables are cooked and let them smell them in the kitchen as they cook. In these ways, you can make your baby more familiar with vegetables, so as to reduce resistance to them, and also to develop a sense of ownership and hands-on skills. The “one at a time” principle It is best not to have vegetables on the table that are unfamiliar to your baby or that they don’t like, because then they will probably not want to eat anything at the meal, and your efforts will be wasted. A meal, it is best to add only one kind of vegetables that your baby may reject, the other dishes are best not to make your baby resistant, at least to keep one that they like to eat. Don’t label your child as a “picky eater” There is a classic example in child education psychology: a student who occasionally does poorly on a test, if the teacher treats him as a poor student, slowly the student really becomes a poor student. In the development of baby eating habits also have this phenomenon, parents should not just label their children as “picky eaters”. Generally speaking, most babies will have several unpleasant experiences before accepting a certain food, but children’s tastes are changeable, maybe one day, they will find the food they used to hate suddenly becomes delicious, parents must give full patience. The power of role models Babies do not accept certain vegetables, sometimes due to the lack of a role model. If you have a child in your life circle who is about the same age as your baby and who loves vegetables, then he is the best role model. Research in child psychology suggests that herd mentality is widespread among children. If you have the opportunity to have a vegetable-loving child eat with your child, you may be able to correct your child’s bad eating habits to some extent. If there is no such opportunity, it is necessary for the parents themselves, before coaxing the child to eat a certain vegetable, parents first eat a bite and make a very delicious face, for the child, this trick still works. If your child is hungry and vegetables are within reach, they may be more likely to try them, which is what parenting experts have concluded. Parents can prepare fresh, clean, raw vegetables such as carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, etc., and place them within sight of their children’s activities. When they are tired of playing and looking for something to eat, it is likely that they will try the type of vegetables they did not like before.
