How do you get your child to eat more veggies???
its so frustrating. I would love to give DS veggies for snack. But he doesnt like veggies. Its so frustrating for me. I want to give him carrots but he doesnt liek those, brocolli he doesnt like that. My mom said he will like them when he gets older but i want to train him now to like it. He eats a lot of fruit which i give him for snack which is good.

Role modeling 
When I pick up Alex from school and take her home, I'm ready for a snack too. So, if she asks for something, I say ok, but I also pull out a bag of carrots, wash them and put them in a bowl and I start munching on them.
Within nanoseconds she's invading my bowl 
That, and dipping. If I give her something to "dip" the veggies in, she'll eat it happily - hummus, tahina, yogurt, etc.

I give robbie 'dip' for carrots
ants on a log - celery w/ peanut butter & raisens
or when I make a meal like mac & cheese I put veggies in it like corn, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas (basically whatever I have) - he LOVES it too!
I also use the good old, you need your veggies to get big and strong like popeye trick which suprisingly works
I've also found that letting him help me prepare them & cook them, makes it more likely that he will at least try it!

I also agree with giving DC DIP for the veggies...Aly loves ranch dressing to dip carrots or brocolli in.

mine loves hummas and guacamole, so he will dip anything into that.
also, I take his snack cup to the pool or park, and I put peas in there or cooked carrots. he eats them right up.
