Getting Kids to Eat Healthy How Do you Do It? #TysonNuggets

March 4, 2012 by Momstart

When it comes to eating in our house, I’ve never really had to battle with my children. My children were born with a love of food. They love to eat and I’m really fortunate I know. As Zoe is getting older she’s becoming more finicky about some of the foods she likes to eat. Miles however, still likes pretty much everything. I would say he prefers to stay away from green foods but usually changes his mind after he finds out his sister actually likes it.

Now as I was saying about Zoe, she’s developing her taste buds deciding that there are things she doesn’t like. That includes most meats are and a few veggies. She also insists that veggies are not a snack in her opinion. And sometimes she has issues with texture. I hear that’s a common problem with kids. So how do we get her to eat the things she doesn’t like.

We try a few different methods and sometimes none of them work. First off, in our house we have a rule that you eat what mom and dad make for dinner or you don’t eat. Sometimes, she’s fine just not eating and since I know she ate every other meal that day, no big deal. I don’t fight it. Other times, we try really hard to get them to have a no thank you helping. I have yet to actually get them to say no thank you. Most of the time it’s that’s gross mom. I don’t know about your house but we’re a work in progress working to say no thank you.

Also the biggest tip I can give you is telling you that we always have a variety on our plate. I try to have two veggies on the plate and I give them one that Miles like and one that Zoe likes. In addition to the variety we often add a dip of some kind. Low fat yogurt, hummus, and mustard are favorites in our house. It’s also worked in getting Zoe to try the meat she thinks she doesn’t like. Most of the time she ends up liking it, it’s just getting her to try it.

Tyson is offering you the chance to have your child features in ads in People Magazine, Parents Magazine and on a billboard in New York Times Square in the Get A Smiles Give A Smile contest. They are also donating 4 million meals to hungry families in need.

Thanks to Tyson’s 100% All Natural Chicken Nuggets, now you don’t have to choose between making your kids happy and feeding them balanced meals.

But I’m curious, how do you ensure your child maintains a balanced diet? Join the conversation and Tyson will select a winner and donate $500 in the winner’s name to a local food bank!
