How to get children to eat more vegetables?

The first thing to get children to eat more vegetables is to set a good example. If parents eat vegetables, children are more likely to accept them.

A very useful tip is to mix vegetables of different colors, to make the dish more attractive. You can also present the dishes in an original and fun way, to make them more appetizing.

Another idea is to play with different ways of cooking the vegetables, to obtain different textures and thus check if they are somehow better accepted.

In any case, it is important to remember that it may be necessary, in many cases, to offer a food to the child several times before he/she decides to try it, as it should not be forced.
