Learn to try new foods. So that children will love the new food, you may have to force him to eat 10 times. You can apply the rule "two bite". Try double-bites for the new food. If you still do not like it, you do not have to eat it again. However, you should try it again sometime. Well, this is true for healthy food that you've been avoiding.

Following the example. What you eat, that's what will be eaten by children. So since he was a kid if you do not give an example by eating vegetables, your child will not follow it.

Children love to Eat Vegetables

Vegetables are an important food for diasup. Children must also be willing to consume these foods. However, because it tastes tend to be bland, it is difficult to ask the child to consume. What can you do to make your child want to eat? According to the researchers is quite easy; smiling while eating.

Quoted by Reuters, a group of French scientists doing research on the reactions of adults and children perceive images in people who were eating. The study said that the way adults with young children assess the object of people who are eating differently.

Adults to assess the proportion of food through the body of the eater. If existing models in the photos have big sized bodies, the respondents would reject if given the same food as the one in the photo. Conversely, if the slender model, respondents tend to be interested. While the kids how to judge a photo contains a person eating a more complex reaction.

If food is in the picture and offered to children who are involved in these responders, such as chocolate, no matter their body size of the model, they would be willing to accept the food. If the food in the photo is the food that they do not like, the size of the body of the model was influential, they will increasingly reject if the fat-bodied model.

Not only that, it was an expression of people who are taking food also affects the child's curiosity to try a food. Photos of people who eat with happy expressions and not contrived to make children interested in trying the food, no matter the form the body of the meal. In contrast, photographs of people who eat with expressions of disgust with the same food will make the child reluctant to try.

That is, for adults, body size people who consume foods have influence in the sense of an adult wants to consume. As for children, need of expression and the type of food they like to persuade your child to try a particular food, and body size factors of which he had seen little effect.

According to Sylvie Rousset, representatives of these scientists say, the results of this research outside of their allegations, because there is no research that says the expression of others affect the curiosity of children. From these results, according to Rousset, parents can take advantage, that when you eat healthy foods, try taking it with an expression of happy and liked the food.

"Although a person's eating habits were quite complex, but such a study could reveal differences in psychosocial factors that shape the child's attitude toward food and eating habits of their long-term," said Rousset.
