How to Get Your Kids to Eat Healthy - Part 2

Kids are picky eaters. No one will argue that point. 😆 Sometimes, the things we crave as children aren't what we want to eat at all when we grow up. It's a natural part of growing up and maturing, but it can be frustrating for parents who want their kids to maintain healthy eating habits from an early age.

It seems like it is a never ending struggle to get your kids to eat healthy. 🥦 They don’t always like the food you make and they can be downright picky when it comes to trying new things. But, there are a few tricks that will help you out with this problem. It's not easy, but with these tips you can start seeing some progress in the right direction!

PART 2: 

Make Food Fun: 🍎Add Colorful Fruits and Veggies to Brighten Up Meals🫑

It’s no secret—many kids think healthy meals are boring. If your child turns up their nose at vegetables or groans at the sight of “healthy” food, you’re not alone. But there’s a simple way to change that: make food fun and colorful!

Children are naturally drawn to bright colors, so take advantage of that by adding colorful fruits and veggies to their plate. Think of meals as a rainbow! You can use sweet fruits like strawberries, peaches, watermelon, and pineapple—many kids already love these. Try cutting them into fun shapes or making fruit kabobs. Serve them as appetizers to spark your child’s interest and give them a healthy start before the main meal.

You can also mix in colorful vegetables like orange carrots, red bell peppers, or purple cabbage. Even just adding a few slices alongside a favorite dish can make a big difference. Let your child help with meal prep—picking out produce at the store or helping wash and arrange food at home gives them a sense of control and curiosity.

By turning meals into something fun and playful, you’re not just helping your child enjoy eating—you’re also teaching them to build a healthy relationship with food that can last a lifetime.
