A TikTok doctor has shared a simple tip to encourage kids to eat more vegetables, emphasizing the importance of allowing children to explore food in their own way.
Parenting can be a real challenge, particularly when it comes to encouraging youngsters to enjoy a diverse diet.
On the @drsmandm TikTok account, Dr Mel acknowledged the difficulty of ensuring children consume a variety of foods nowadays. She pointed out the relentless marketing for ultra-processed food products makes it tough, and noted that some items are engineered to be highly "addictive" - making the path to healthy eating a difficult one.
She shared: "One suggestion was to get your children to explore food a bit more because, sometimes, the reason they don't want to eat it is because it's something new and unusual to them. Her son thoroughly "loved it", spending over an hour playing with the peppers. After cutting them into small pieces, he even asked to have them cooked so he could taste them.
