Veggie Hacks for Kids- 5 Ways to Get A Picky Eater]-

Vegetables are a struggle. Every parent has heard... I don't want vegetables! But yet some parents have this. Yummy! So what's the difference between these two parents? Today, I'm going to give you five ways in which you can help your kids eat vegetables, but even get those picky eaters to love vegetables. Number one, lead by example. When they see you eat vegetables, they will eat vegetables. When they see you love vegetables, they will love vegetables. There's an old saying, monkey see, monkey do. So if you're telling them to eat veggies, but you don't eat them, you're teaching them something is wrong with those veggies. So let's get healthy together. A family that eats vegetables together, stays healthy together. Number two, let them prepare with you. You know, when they prepare vegetables with you, they get to learn different types of vegetables and different ways of healthy eating. But you get to check in with them and get to know what's happening in their day. And the fun part is they get to taste. So they get to know what they like. Let's say they don't like Brussels sprouts. They can learn that, oh, maybe if I put a little bit of cream, a little bit of cheese, a little bit of maybe salt, this dressing. I actually like Brussels sprouts, right? So letting them prepare in the kitchen allows them to also be able to figure out what they like and how they like it. Number three is add vegetables to every cooked meal. It must just be part of your life. Norma, to them, food without veggies must look weird. Because they know vegetables are good. It's for their health. And number four is never, ever force your kids to eat vegetables. You don't want to create a relationship where there's a power struggle, where now they start to make up in their minds that vegetables are associated with pain or some form of trauma. All right. And number five, go to www.asjillo.com to find number five and many more things that will help your kids love vegetables. And don't forget to get Dr. Asjillo's book, I Love Salad. Every kid loves that book. The book has, in fact, 10 non-vegetable eaters. Vegetables love us because the kids learn that there's so much they can do with vegetables. It doesn't have to just be I like it or I don't. You can create something fun and have your taste buds tickled. See you in the next video.
