Eat by example: Children mimic parents in many ways. Eat meals as a family, and encourage, but don't force, everyone to taste everything. Offer everything, provide a wide variety, and be sure to try new things yourself. Garden together, children will often eat if they've participated in growing or preparing food. Serve the same food 15 meals in a row-this really works!

Feed them to them: Set some rules about eating fruits and veggies before they can get the things they really want to eat. Give them some choices on the fruits and veggies but be firm about eating them. That way, the choice and power stays in their hands.
