Finally got my kids to eat vegetables without a fight

Started letting them help me cook dinner and suddenly they're way more interested in what's on their plates. Last night my 8yo asked for seconds of broccoli. SECONDS. My wife thinks I'm a wizard but honestly I just handed them a knife and told them to chop. Game changer.

We use a sticker chart system for trying new foods and it works great, but honestly the cooking together approach sounds way more organic. Might have to try this.

Dude yes! Getting them involved in the kitchen is huge. I do this with my oldest and she's way more adventurous with food now. Plus it's actual quality time without screens.

This is brilliant. My kids are the same way - they'll actually eat stuff they helped make. We started a little garden too and now they want to eat the tomatoes raw off the vine. Game changer.
