recipes for toddlers
one of the most frequent beginnings to a 1or 2 or 3 year old check up in my office is a mom or a dad saying he won't eat any vegetables.and what i want to say, but i don't play it safe this way, is i want to say you are right,he won't eat any vegetables. do you have any questions? what they might say is how do weget him to eat more vegetables? and i'll say you can't. you offer vegetables, you offergood food, you offer a choice among sweet potatoes, green beans and broccoli, not sweetpotatoes, green beans and cookies, and your child will eventually eat. we are very goodanimals. we get every last minute's sleep that we need, we get every last calorie thatwe need and all that we have to do is keep on offering. in america kids learn to eatover cooked, buttered, salted vegetables and
they learn to love butter and salt. insteadwe should offer them the taste of broccoli and sweet potatoes and let them choose thiswhen they are 1 year of age, maybe 2 or maybe three, or maybe like their doctor, 25 yearsof age.
