Here\u2019s what they found:<\/p>\n<p>\u00abPreschoolers seem to think that food can&#8217;t serve two purposes, that it can&#8217;t be something that makes them healthier and something that is delicious to eat at the same time,\u00bb said Fishbach. \u00abSo telling them that the carrots will make them grow tall or make them smarter actually makes them not want to eat the carrots. If you want them to eat the carrots, you should just give the kids the carrots and either mention that they are tasty or just say nothing.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the study focused just on younger children.\u00a0How do you present nutritious food to your young children to get them to eat more of it?<\/p>\n<p><em>Healthy Dining Finder is a member of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation.
