How to Convince Your Child to Eat Healthy?

Today, all parents are aware of the importance of including fruits and vegetables in their children's daily diet. The question is, why is it so hard to implement? Why do many mothers who try to encourage their children to like fruits and vegetables end up facing a barrage of complaints and have to repeatedly contend with their kids over something that ultimately contributes to their health and strength?

"An airplane flies in the sky, and... whoosh, straight into the mouth of..." - Who doesn't know this old trick? Indeed, from then until now, throughout all times, various tactics run through a mother's mind, just to ensure that the cucumber or zucchini, banana and melon, finally leave the plate and fly with the airplane or whatever it may be - straight into the mouth of the stubborn toddler.

So why won't the child eat fruits and vegetables?

It's an important question. Research conducted over the years to provide a satisfactory answer to this question found that often the answer is in the parents' own behavior. There is a direct link between parents who rarely eat fruits and vegetables and their child's aversion to them as they grow up. In other words: once a parent sets a good example for their children, they will start accustoming both themselves and their children, even at a very young age, that is, before the age of one - to consume fruits and vegetables, as it will become second nature to the child because they simply won't know anything else. Thus, the responsibility to consume fruits and vegetables starts with the parent and rests on them, not on the child.

Here are several fun ways that will help you, the parents, along with your children, consume more fruits and vegetables - in a fun and unforced way. And most importantly, be healthy!
