Getting young kids to eat salad greens and other veggies is a challenge for most parents. We are no exception as we try different ways to get our twins to take a few bites. A while ago, we had some success with our eating salad like a giraffe story, but it didn’t last too long.
Recently, out of the blue, and much to our surprise, our son has become a regular salad eater. He does love pretending to be a giraffe as he nibbles on the salad greens with his neck stretched out! Check out this recent video in which special musical effects were provided by his twin sister!
It is funny, no doubt, but the trick works because now we have a secret ingredient. Turns out that he likes it when we add a little ketchup, a tablespoon of plain yogurt and a sprinkle of salt over the greens. Call it a weird salad dressing, but it seems to work every time!
As they say, the secret is in the sauce. What has worked for you?
