Many parents get discouraged when their child exclaims ?Yucky, what are those?? at the sight of brussels sprouts or broccoli. But don?t stop trying to feed your kids healthy vegetables and snacks.
The entire world is new to a child, so it can be overwhelming. New food can be uncomfortable, so kids frequently decide they don?t like a new food before they try it. Give children the opportunity to get used to a new food by serving it again and again and by letting him see others eating and enjoying it.
It?s OK if your kids push new foods aside or declare them ?yucky?. Be persistent and soon enough, they?ll be begging for their new favorites.
