Children need to be feed every 2 - 3 hours. Feed you children what you are eating and eat up the table with them. Children watch us and learn thei habits, so if you don't like veges why would they? Feed each meal - breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and depending on bedtime supper. Give your child a variety of food, when mealtime is over tip the food out or feed it to the dog and don't feed your child again the next meal (they will eat the things they like so if you are trying to increase their range of foods, keep these foods to a minimum but do not cut them out completely).
Don't bribe or threaten, children on average need a food presented 20 times before they eat it.
If you are having problems with an older child (7 or over) cut out morning and afternoon tea.
Give them water to drink, milk and juice are foods and will fill them up.
