Answer 2

You should never force a child to eat something they don't like. My mom did that to me and I still hate brussels spouts.Plus I remember all those times she made me eat them.I gaged everytime.Let me tell you what I did for my child.He didn't like broccoli so I made it and put lots of cheese on it.He didn't like salad so I added his favorite meats and cheeses with it. Get creative with the fruits and veggies...Take a fruit and bake it in brown sugar.Not alot but for a treat. Just go nutts in the kitchen with different things.I only ask my child to at least try it.Good luck

Answer 3

Time to force some other choices on this child. Mom, do it now as those are not near enough to keep the child healthy.
