Getting children to eat their vegetables has been the bane of parent’s existence for eons.
A dilemma that almost all parents face at one point.
It’s common that, amongst your frustration, you worry if your child is getting enough nutrients from the foods they’re eating to help support their growth and development.
One way to overcome this is the age-old trick of sneaking the veggies into the foods that they already love eating.
Even if this is something you’re already doing, there’s no harm in acquiring some new and creative tips.
To help share some inspiration we welcome back Siobhan Boyle, CEO of Jamie Oliver’s The Good Foundation. Who, Kiddipedia is honoured to be in partnership with.
Siobhan is going to share her expert tips on how you can include veggies in your kid’s favorite recipes.
We ask Siobhan questions including:
- Why do you think it is so hard to get kids to eat their veggies?
- Do you think that it’s important for parents to persist and continue trying to give their children whole fruits and vegetables with the view of trying to make them familiar with new foods?
- Do you think that it’s valuable to expose children to this wisdom especially during this time in history with COVID?
- Do you think it’s important for kids to understand, with age-appropriate information, why eating their veggies is crucial to their long-term health?
- Do think that children’s palettes can change over time, and for that reason, it’s important for them to have exposure to many different foods as early as possible?
- What is the easiest kid-friendly dish to sneak some veggies into?
- Do you think that getting children to explore and understanding food is the basis for healthy eating choices?
- What are some ways to get your kids to have fun in the kitchen and love their veggies?
- Which veggies should one always have in their fridge?
