How to get kids to eat healthy foods Tip #1

Involve them in preparing food... Sweetpea would ride in the backpack while I made meals when he was little. As he became more aware of food he would shift around in the backpack trying to get a better view of what I was doing. As he got older I would put him in his booster seat and chop at the kitchen table I would name the vegetables and other items we would be using. He would throw items into a bowl or pan that I would place on the table for him.

As he grew older he would "help" in any way he could. He is now in charge of the Kitchen Aid, punching down the dough for bread and putting all items in the bowl or pan we are using. He is not in charge of breaking the eggs although he is pretty good at it:)...He will try pretty much anything that he had a hand in making and usually that also means he will also like it:)
