The best way to make your child eat healthy is to make healthy food taste good.. this can be done by adding different sauces ,different dressings etc ..teach them about vegetables and their nutrients like (veggies are your superpower and it will make you strong) Pov: never force feed kids its important to teach the difference between good and bad food teach them importance of eating healthy food at early age .
If you feel your child is not liking or willing to have any vegetable you can try these simple steps
Try to make food look more appealing to them you can either serve them in form of salad , sandwich , soups wraps nutri burgers or roti pizza , ..try and add all nutri veggies in kids plate as the way they like . Add some of their favorite sauces or dressings as dips or try making in form of gravy so that its easy for them to chew for younger ones .
If your kid loves pasta or noodles make veggie puree with carrot ,cauliflower ,potato or spinach and cook with pasta or noodles and top it with some cheese
'cheese makes everything so much better and yummy" ,this way they will eat veggies they don't like.
For the one who are really fussy eaters can try these fancy bowls and plates of their fav cartoon character or in any fancy shapes this way they might feel attracted and intend to eat .if they love certain food for eg.chicken or paneer or any protein rich food add them in their meal .
Try involving them while you cook for them . Let them help and make their own little meal this way they will enjoy the process and also happily eat what they are making and it can also make your bond stronger
Allow them in the kitchen ,use their favorite cookie cutter and allow them to make their cute little roti or veggies and fruits for younger kids ..it will be surely messed up but let them have fun
Yes timings is also very important to set proper meal time for kid ,if they be very hungry they might end up eating junk . Try to make a routine for them serve them healthy mid snacks , you can offer a glass of milk ,idlis,wheat waffles ,fresh juice ,oatmeal nutri bites some fresh fruits and much more
This way they will stay full and set a proper meal time .
Allow them junk once in a while let them enjoy .Besides forbidding certain foods just make them look more attractive make pizza or burger at home with healthy ingredients . Don't try too hard allow them to eat as much they are willing to .
Have a dessert along with your meal so that kid enjoy the meal he don't like. Add healthy deserts like any fruit pudding or yogurt to make more appealing and you'll be surprised to see how kid enjoys the meal along ,give him/her bite of their favorite dessert in between the meal and see the magic
Prepare normal family meal as you always do and allow them to accept and eat don't upset your self or get annoyed if they turn their back towards food they will learn slowly on their terms and their way "kid swill eat healthy if you keep offering them and encouraging them " if they learn on their own way it will help them in long run.
