The reason why children don't eat vegetables is

Many parents are troubled when their children refuse to eat vegetables, because this means that the nutrients needed by the body cannot be better supplemented. Therefore, it is also necessary to understand the reasons. For example, whether the child himself does not like the taste of the dish or the cooking method, which will affect the child's appetite and cause him to have an extreme resistance to certain foods.

1. Don’t like to eat vegetables, or prefer a certain type of food

This is a common situation for children. Psychological research shows that the biggest characteristic of children of this age group is that they decide to do or not do something based on their personal needs and preferences. If parents force their children to submit at this time, it will be meaningless and may even backfire and bring some negative effects to the children.

2. The nutrients that vegetables can provide to children’s bodies are sufficient and no further supplementation is needed.

Many parents think that their children are young and do not understand anything, but this is not the case. Studies have shown that as every child grows up, especially before the age of 7, he/she understands the world completely by sensory perception, that is, completely by feeling. They eat when they are hungry, drink when they are thirsty, sleep when they are sleepy, and cry when they are in pain... They are completely in tune with their own body and mind. They don't think about things rationally like adults do. They only eat what is nutritious and they have to do things even if they don't like them. If this is the case, parents can use some medical tests to find out whether their children are really lacking in vegetables or certain foods.

3. The child does not like the taste of the dish, or has a bad experience the first time he eats it, such as it is too hot or too salty...he will not want to eat it again after seeing it. It is possible that the child really hates the taste of that dish, or that his young and weak teeth feel uncomfortable chewing vegetables, or that his stomach and intestines feel uncomfortable digesting vegetables full of fiber. Or when you see it, you think of something you don’t like.
