Believe us, you are not alone if the sentences, “My child has no appetite, he/she does not eat anything!”, “If I do not force him/her to eat, he/she will be hungry all day!”, “He/she is always distant to vegetable dishes!”, “How can I feed a child who does not eat?” keep coming back to your mind. There are thousands of parents in the world who are experiencing similar difficulties. Nutrition is undoubtedly one of the most necessary elements for your child's healthy development. Consuming protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fats as much as your body needs is very important for your child's mental and physical development.

You first need to ensure that your child perceives eating positively to solve the problem of how to feed a child who does not eat. Having fun at happy tables is one of the most effective ways to regulate your child's eating habits. Inviting your child's friends to your home, eating together can encourage them to try new flavors with their peers. Getting your child to help you prepare food, going shopping together, having them choose the food ingredients, and including them in the cooking process can make them eat the food they contribute more enthusiastically.

The problem of what to do with a child who does not eat vegetables is undoubtedly experienced in many families. Using vegetables in their favorite foods can help children get used to vegetable dishes. Putting vegetables in their meatballs or adding mushrooms to their pasta allows your child to try new vegetables along with the foods they already love.

Preparing vegetable dishes with an interesting presentation is another trick for children to get used to eating vegetables. Children love colorful foods; you can make a plate that attracts children's attention by frying zucchini, potatoes, peppers, carrots, and eggplants in a toaster and add grated kasseri cheese to them. Or you can bake the vegetables into crispy snacks. Your child will get used to seeing the vegetables constantly and then eating them thanks to various fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, carrots that you will put on the table on a plate.

Serving vegetables with healthy sauces (e.g., tomato sauce or a cheese dip) or melting cheddar cheese on vegetables increases the taste of vegetables and makes eating vegetable fun. Sauced and delicious vegetables enable your child to acquire a vegetable consumption habit. You can also make dip sauce from vegetables (dip sauces with beets or avocados).

You can provide a healthier and diverse diet for your child by combining an infinite number of nutrients. In other words, your child may actually like vegetables, the important thing is how you prepare them. Here are healthy and delicious recipes that will make your child love vegetable dishes...
