Called them 'dinosaur food' and told her she needed to get strong like a T-Rex. She demolished a plate of broccoli in like 3 minutes. My wife is mad because now I'm responsible for coming up with new dinosaur facts every meal but honestly worth it.
Mine didn't fall for it but I'm stealing this anyway. Worth a shot before we get to the point where she just refuses everything.
Wait until she learns that T-Rex probably didn't actually eat vegetables and watch this whole strategy crumble lol. But for real that's a solid win.
The dinosaur food thing is legitimately clever. My daughter is obsessed with dinosaurs right now so this might actually solve dinner time at my house. Thanks for the tip.

This is genius. My son wouldn't touch broccoli for months until I called it 'power-up vegetables' like in Mario. Now he asks for seconds. The dinosaur angle is perfect for that age.
Did she actually believe the T-Rex thing or was she just humoring you? Either way sounds like it worked so I'm not complaining.
