i've got a six-year-old who seems to have developed a sixth sense for anything green or remotely healthy on their plate. i swear, they could spot a pea in a pile of mashed potatoes from a mile away. any other parents out there dealing with this? i tried the whole 'hide the veggies in smoothies' thing, but somehow they always know. has anyone had success with turning meal times into a fun game? or maybe a reward system? would love to hear what works for you guys. it's kind of turning into a daily dinner-time battle over here! 🍽️

Oh, I totally get where you're coming from! My kiddo was the same at that age. One thing that worked for us was making meal times a bit of an adventure. We turned veggies into "superhero fuel" and made up stories about how carrots give you night vision like a superhero. 🦸‍♂️

Another trick we tried was a reward chart. Every time they tried a new veggie, they'd earn a sticker. After collecting a certain number, they'd get to choose a fun activity. It made trying new foods more exciting and less of a struggle. Hope these ideas help turn your dinner battles into fun times!

Oh, I can totally relate to this veggie detective phase! My little one was a master at spotting anything green too. We had some luck with making veggies part of a story or game. For instance, we’d pretend broccoli was tiny trees and we'd be giants eating them. 🌳 It made the whole experience a bit more playful.

Another thing that worked was involving them in the cooking process. Letting them pick out veggies at the store or help with washing and prepping made them more curious and willing to try what they helped create. Sometimes, just giving them a little control over their meals can make a big difference. Hang in there, it gets better!

Been there! One thing that worked wonders for us was getting the kids involved in the cooking process. We’d have them pick out veggies at the store or help wash and prep them at home. When they felt like they had a hand in making the meal, they were more inclined to try it. 🥕🥦

Another idea is to make a "taste test" game. We’d put a small piece of each veggie on their plate and have them rate it with funny faces or thumbs up/down. It turned into a fun little game and took the pressure off. Sometimes, just changing the presentation can make a big difference!
