My daughter has always loved vegetables.  At the dinner table she'll always ask, "Mommy, what's this one for?"  I'll reply, "Oh, carrots.  Those are good for your eyes sweetie.  Carrots help to keep your eyes healthy and strong.  See the inside of the carrot.  It kind of looks like an eye right?  So that helps you remember they are good for your eyes."

I find that if we have a positive conversation about the vegetable in question and I also lead by example and eat them myself, then that helps to keep her interested in what's going in her body and she'll want to eat healthy too.

I think it starts early..We(hubby & I ) have always been big veggie eaters, so once we had a child our child ate what we ate. My daughter think dessert is an apple..

My kids have always loved their veggies, we've never had to fight them to eat them and they always ask for more.  I think it is was just seeing us eat them and never giving them the option to say no or making them something different.

Daug loves my pinch of baby spinach leaves in with the mixed berry and banana smoothie. And she knows it's in there and loves it. She also loves alien brains/ brussel sprouts. She only eats two but that is a good thing. I give kids a healthy afternoon snack like apples and dip. I make cream cheese with a little vanilla flavor and pinch of brown sugar. Kids love cheese and broc or broc on top of rotini pasta.

It helps I always say since they were pretty lil do you want grapes or strawberries? Or give them a choice between one veggie or another veggie. You can't give the option green beans or junk food.duh

My oldest used to eat veggies all the time. Then daddy deployed and she stopped eating most of the things she used to love. That was when she was 2 1/2. She is now 4 1/2 and just now getting to where she will eat veggies again. I have started to steam fresh veggies and that seems to be the only way she will eat them. My 2 year old son though eats pretty much anything I put in front of him. And our almost 6 month old gets homemade baby food from fresh veggies.

For string beans, my mom came up with the idea of finding te surprise inside. DS loves it now since he can look for the surprise to eat as well :)
