Lots of us have picky children who seem to love only the carbs (crackers, breads, pastas etc) some of us even cook on occasion for picky teachers *wink* but worry no more on how you will get those healthy foods in! There are many trick I have learned along the way and Ill share them with you now!
For my daughter we tried EVERYTHING. A lot of children it's as simple as letting them dip everything whether in Ketchup or yogurt, sometimes even honey! Dont freak if it's a combination YOU would not normally go for (celery in honey) if they are eating it happily - let em' at it!
Sometimes it's as simple as telling them it's something funny. Riana loves Ants on a log (celery cut to 4in long pieces, peanut butter in the trench and either raisens or craisins on top), and franken eggs (deviled eggs with chives placed cleverly on top to look like a stitch), and even Egg in a Hole (a piece of toast with a hole cut out of the center, place in a lightly greased skillet, crack egg in the middle and then flip to cook through).
Try everything. Tell them the broccoli are "trees" or grapes are "power pellets"
Some kids just need to be told to "bite it and make it hurt" lol!
Get creative -your kid will eventually eat more than carbs - one day.
Until then - I will try to post something just for the kidlets each week.
