Rejecting food.

Is it even like encouraging a child to eat fruit and vegetables?

First, you have to remember that babies, like adults, have their favorite foods, and they prefer some foods more and others less. That's normal, and it's reasonable to accept that. Every mother should just make sure that her child can choose between the healthiest and most diverse things. Second, if we decide to introduce solid foods, let's make sure they're vegetables first, and then fruit next. And if we go the other way, vegetables that aren't as tasty as they are might not be as encouraging.

It's a reliable way to eat vegetables

Never tell a child that something is healthy for him. The latest research suggests that this behavior has the opposite effect. Parents and caregivers who have difficulty getting children to eat a meal while serving it should therefore not mention that it is healthy, but simply emphasize what it is actually delicious- commented study authors Michal Maimaran of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and Ayelet Fishbach of the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
