  • Giving them a rainbow color scheme of vegetable will pique your child’s interest in the food and they will most likely eat it without complaint.
  • Yet another way to interest them in the eating process is to include them in the purchasing process. Take them shopping and let them choose – or at least think they are choosing – the foods that they will be eating. This method of letting them control parts of their life works in all parts of their life and is a great way to give them some responsibility at a young age.
  • One last thing that you can do to help your child eat vegetables is to reward them for eating them. Show them that when they eat their veggies that they get something in return.

You can use a sticker on a calendar method when they eat and at the end of the month get them a special toy or a day out.
