Asking a child to eat a new food can trigger a dinnertime battle. Understandably, they want to stick with the foods they love, but you can get your kids to eat a more diverse diet with a few simple tricks. Try these tips to give your family a healthier diet without fighting them over each bite.

1. Ask Them to Help Cook

Kids get more engaged with their meals if they make them. Consider your children’s ages to give them appropriate responsibilities while you’re cooking. If they understand how the food gets on their plates, they won’t feel as nervous when trying something different.

Young kids, like toddlers, can mix batters or sauces while older kids chop veggies. Watching simmering pasta or setting the timer for your casserole could be enough to make young ones feel engaged. The new veggies and fruits will seem less scary because they prepped them.
