Tips to make Meal time Fun time.
Some basic thumb rules that I follow are:
- Don't force your child to eat. Make food time fun time. It's completely ok if your child refuses to eat. Keep patience and try feeding after sometime.
- Toddlers love eating khichdi (mix of dal and rice) or dalia (porridge). While cooking, add some vegetables and mash them properly so that they will not come to know. This will add the goodness of veggies.
- There may be time when your child may not be in a mood of eating vegetables. No worries!! You can choose panner/ cheese to compensate. Knead your atta with paneer or dal. In this way your young one will not get to know that the roti/parantha you cooked has goodness of dal or paneer.

- Use your creativity to decorate and present the food so that it looks good. Try making smiley with ketchup.
-
- Some moms believe that their child will not get the necessary nutrients if he/ she will not drink milk. This is a myth. Your child can get the nutrients of milk even if he/she eats paneer, cheese, curd, eggs, butter.
- You are your child's role-model. Your child will follow you at whatever you do so start eating healthy before you teach your child the same.
