Anyone else's kids refuse to eat anything green?

My 6 year old will literally starve before eating a single pea. Wife made broccoli last night and he acted like she served him dirt. I've tried everything, hiding it in pasta sauce, telling him it'll make him strong like superheroes, nothing works. Do I just accept that my kid will live on chicken nuggets and fruit for the next 12 years or is there some trick I'm missing?

At least you're still trying. Some parents just give up. The green stuff will eventually click with him probably when he's older and actually tastes things properly.

My 6 year old is the exact same way. We've tried everything. The compromise has been getting him to eat like one piece of broccoli if he gets extra of whatever the side is he actually likes.

This is what I'm worried about once we get to solid foods. Any actual tricks that worked or is it just a waiting game?

The starving thing is so dramatic right? Mine will literally go to bed hungry before touching vegetables. We've just accepted it for now and keep offering.
