Keep exposing them to vegetables

It's simple to become disappointed if your child rejects a vegetable, especially if you've tried multiple times to convince them to eat it. But if you repeatedly expose them to the same vegetable, there's a good chance they'll give it a try eventually. Don't forget to consider quantity proportions and cooking methods when exposing your toddler to a new veggie or one they haven't previously liked.

To avoid turning them off or overwhelming them with a full meal, start with a modest piece, like one or two nibbles. Try adding the vegetable to things they already like if your toddler has rejected particular preparations, such as raw spinach. For instance, spinach smoothies or muffins may be more tempting than the fresh version. Don't serve vegetables exclusively in this manner, though. Your toddler may be less likely to choose or try a taste of those served fresh or on their own if all vegetables are "hidden" in muffins or smoothies. The appearance and temperature of a vegetable can also make a difference. Some children might favor heated veggies over cold ones and veggie coins over veggie strips. Cut vegetables into these familiar shapes if your kid likes fries and noodles. Serve the vegetables first at dinner, and let your child handle the rest. Try not to express your disappointment if they refuse the vegetables that are offered to them. Always give it another shot at your next meal.
