Are your toddler not eating vegetables?

Are your toddler not eating vegetables? Are you also tensed by toddler tantrums? Do you find veggies out of their plates everytime? Have you tried everything to make them to eat? 

So first thing you have to find is that why they are not eating veggies, whats the reason behind it: 
  • Doctor tell us to introduce food to our kids after 6 months, we make food for them differ from what we cook for us. So when we introduce veggies to them, they have the fear of new or unknown food, so they dont even want to taste it.
  • Some toddler feels that vegetables are bitter in taste, so they dont want to eat it, bitter taste are undesirable.
  • Some toddlers are confused regarding the sour taste, but you dont have to worry for that, pediatricians says that our taste changes when we grow, so some veggies which we dont like as toddler, can love to eat when we grow young.
  • Veggies dont look interesting to them. Toddlers eyes are attracted towards colourful things, or things which has interesting shapes.
How to tackle these why things and make them to eat vegetables:
  • We should introduce texture and taste to our child at the age of 6 month. Let your child eat the same thing you cooked for yourself in little bit semi-liquid form. This reduce your work too  of cooking two different dishes.
  • Take help of your child while cooking. Let him take out the veggies from refrigerator, wash them. This helps them to know the name of vegetables and you can explain the importance of each vegetable in our life and your little chef will be excited to eat the foid he help to make.
  • Present dishes to your kids in beautiful way. Take different cookie cutter and shape dishes in that shape which your child will feel attractive.
  • Plant some veggies in your garden with your child and explain them importance of that vegetable. This will create interest in them and they will be excited to eat the vegetable they grow in their small farm.
  • You too have to eat the same thing you are giving your child to eat... if the child see that his father is eating the same thing  he has in his plate then this will make them to eat that too.

I think this above points will definetly help you in solving toddler tantrum. Please find the reason behind it and then come to any solution.
