But sometimes, difficult children eat vegetables until parents should look for how to overcome them. According to a Penn State study dai, children would eat more vegetables if presented in a different way.
"When the vegetables added to the gravy, the children were three times more likely to eat their vegetables," said Director of Childhood Obesity Research, Penn State, Jennifer S. Savage, as quoted RedOrbit.
Furthermore, Savage said, even research found children are twice as likely to eat carrots, red peppers, and squash when served with low-fat dip. According to Savage, this is done to begin to get their loved eating vegetables and by itself will be used.
In the study, the team conducted simulations on 34 children aged between three to five years. They presented a series of vegetables to see which one they eat and do not. After eating in small portions of carrot, cucumber, celery, green beans, red peppers, and yellow squash, the researchers asked the children to make a list of vegetables are preferred.
The result, the researchers noted some children refuse to eat vegetables in the usual form. Then, the children were given a series of vegetables in the form of a sandwich. Then, only 31% of children who love vegetables in the sandwich, but after adding the sauce, as much as 64% liked it.
"That way it can be said, just because a child refuses to taste the vegetables, does not mean they do not like it. The key is to try to present it in the form of interest, "said Savage.
