Episode 12 - Picky Eating Solutions: How to Help Kids Eat and Enjoy More Vegetables

While there are endless fancy and expensive things we can do to support our children’s immune systems, health and behaviour, it is often the simple, daily things that matter most. Like good sleep, plenty of exercise, time outside. 

And yes, eating lots of veggies. 

Many kids nowadays don’t eat anywhere near enough vegetables. Many don’t even eat any at all. 

Kids tend to eat plenty of fruit, but veggies are sometimes a challenge. 

But the great news is that this doesn’t have to be forever. 

With consistency and a few shifts in our habits, we can help support our kids to enjoy their veggies and eat plenty of them every day. 

In this episode, I am covering over a dozen ways to support our kids to eat and genuinely enjoy vegetables.

I am currently writing a book on this exact topic. Stay tuned for more simple and doable strategies to foster veggie-loving kids!
