How to make Your Picky Toddler Eaters to Try Healthy Foods

5 ways to get your toddlers to like healthy foods. Expert tricks that really work — even by means of super-picky eaters — from The Sneaky Chef Missy Chase Lapine, a Parenting Mom Squad member:
- Don’t make a big deal – If you announce to them that “We’re going to try something latest tonight,” your child will take it this as “This is going to be bad; prepare to avoid it.” Other than than, just set the plate down and let your kid explore it for themselves.
- Make it fun– You’ve seen the cute pics: pancakes topped by means of smiley fruit faces, grilled cheese served in cookie-cutter shapes. Taking the time now plus then to make healthy foods kid-friendly — even just adding tomato sauce ,mayonnaise or making up a clever name (“magic beans”) — is always a winner. So is anything dunkable: Offer a little warmed, peanut butter or yogurt to dip her fruit into, or some dressing to go by means of steamed vegetables.
- Work by means of her– Always add healthy stuff into dishes you know your child likes. If she loves pizza, try adding pineapple. Got a muffin fan? Make a batch by means of blueberries or grated zucchini or carrots. Chicken-nugget chomper? Bake them by means of whole-grain bread crumbs.
- Talk with kids- A kid couldn’t care less about cholesterol or heart disease, but he notice if you tell him that doughnut won’t give him enough energy to climb the jungle gym .
- Eat it yourself First – If you won’t touch anything green, kids also will not touch green.
