Did you know?
Many children are afraid to try new foods, preferring to eat foods they are used to!
Don’t pressure children to eat, but don’t give up if they refuse to eat their greens!
Sometimes a child needs to try a new food as many as 10 times before enjoying it. Remember it will be worth the effort in the long run.
