Raising an adventurous, healthy eater can be tricky, but when you make preparing food fun, your kids will love trying new thing. Your kids will want to try something new if they helped make it. While you do the cutting and cooking, ask him to do the mixing. Separate some pre-sliced fruit and ask him to make fruit salad or let her snap the ends off the green beans. Broaden her horizons with different smells and tastes. Go ahead and make her favorite mac and cheese for dinner, but let her try something off mommy or daddy's plate too. She may just discover her new favorite food. And if you really want to inspire adventurous eating choices, let your kids make their own snacks. When your kids become regulars in the kitchen, they can become healthy adventurous eaters for a lifetime.
