How can I get my child to eat vegetables?

Sugar Busters!®
Different textures appeal to different children. Raw vegetables appeal to some children, while al dente (slightly firm) or well-cooked vegetables may appeal to others. So offer lots of variety and vary your presentation methods. Remember to continue to reintroduce vegetables even if they are rejected. Use flavorful seasonings. Simple preparation is healthier, but if all else fails serve vegetables with small amounts of sauce made from stone-ground wheat flour, low-fat milk, and low-fat cheeses.
