My three year old daughter just does not like vegetables. In the name of vegetables, all she eats are - potatoes (in any form), onion/ tomato/ garlic that I use to cool Lentils. And she is fond of mushrooms (but that's not a vegetable). I have tried various tricks like wrapping in the roti or making a sandwich or a homemade pizza... She'll just spit out the veggie piece.

My daughter is 3 years old too, and she does not vegetables as well. Yes, she will also spit out any veggie piece in her mouth. Recently, I manage to get her to try the greens. I repeatedly telling her, sharing with her the benefits of vegetables through storytelling or through educational video clips. Eg: There was a story about a cartoon character tiger who was not tall enough get the balloon which floated up to the ceiling and a cartoon character rabbit who was taller, helped the tiger to retrieve the balloon. Using this story, I told her that if she eat vegetables she will grow taller faster, become taller than all her friends and be able to help her friends to retrieve things which are beyond their reach. Everytime she eat vegetables, I will praise her and encourage her by reminding her that she will be taller then her friends and be able to help them.
