A member asked:

How can you train your child to love veggies and fruits?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Parenting: Show your child that you eat those items. Offer the items frequently. And do not child discipline your child if the items are not eaten. Also, do not force your child to eat them. If you eat healthy, your child will too. Don't expect them to, if you don't.
