Fruit Treat For Your Kid

By Priya Devi

Provide the fruits that look good if you want to make your child eat more apples, strawberries and grapes, say the psychological experts.

Children are fond of fruits which are presented in a beautiful way, especially when they were made into a hedgehog-skewered with colourful cocktail sticks pierced into a watermelon. The same cubed fruits may not tempt them if they are simply offered on a white dish.

Though they understand that both the fruits in different forms taste the same, they prefer 'fun' fruits as nearly twice as the other one. So it is important for the parents or the food producers to remain 'innovative'.

The experts advice to make the food as appetizing as possible as looks have quite an influence, especially for the kids who are getting used to different types of food.
