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.

I sat down with mine and explaimed everything I knew about vitamins an immune system. We drew germs and "soldiers" from our body that fight germs and infections. I then told him that his soldiers need some food and the food they need are the vitamins in fruits and veggies. Then I went on telling him that he needs to eat a rainbow of colors every day. That's how we did it. He now eats even broccoli without any issues! He understands it's for his own good.
