Why does my kid suddenly refuse to eat anything green

My 5 year old used to eat broccoli and peas no problem. Last month he decided ALL green foods are gross. Won't touch them. I'm not trying to force it but it's weird how fast that switched. His little sister is already following suit. Anyone dealt with this phase? Does it actually get better or do I just accept that I have two kids who will never eat vegetables again?

Mine went through the exact same phase around that age. I just kept putting small amounts on the plate without making a big deal about it, and eventually he came around. Sometimes they just need to reject things on their own terms, you know?

This is so normal at 5. My oldest did this and I was worried for nothing. Just keep offering greens without pressure and he'll probably surprise you in a few months when he decides they're cool again.
