I’ve tried making veggies fun—cute shapes, hidden in sauces—but my child still rejects them. Any other tricks that actually work?

Psychological Perspective of the Child: Some toddlers need multiple exposures before accepting a new food. Others may reject veggies due to taste sensitivity. Psychological Guidance for Parents: Keep offering vegetables in different forms without pressure. Involve them in food preparation or use dips to make veggies more appealing. Persistence and creativity help build acceptance over time.
