It may be very hard indeed to introduce new foods to children, and I cannot agree more that we must not bribe nor threaten them. it is our job to be creative as parents and to find interesting ways that might work in getting our children to have a healthy diet. I have a two year old daughter and a six year old niece and they are very picky eaters. My niece for instance doesn’t like meat, however she likes patty, so what I do is to make bite-size patties which she loves very much. My daughter doesn’t like milk, so what I do is to milk popsicles which she loves;see, mission accomplished. There are also other creative ways in which i get them to eat foods that they don’t like.

The only “trick” I remember my mother trying on us was to let us starve until we got hungry enough to eat the food she prepared. What was on the table, that was it. She said if we didn’t like it, there was bread and butter and we could have a glass of water with it and then go to our room. Yeah. That was the “old school” parenting style. I come from a large family and I don’t remember that many of us being picky eaters. Looking back on it, I don’t know if the alternative meal of bread and butter and water, was the reason why we weren’t picky eaters. (O.o) 🙂

Food is part and parcel of human life we are eating vegetables fruits since our birth the same apple, the grains , the same meat, the banana, the same orange…
But the children like different foods and vegetables in eating with different style so that they change their eating pattern and its most important for health and human spirit.
Your child should consume a variety of foods from the five major food. Each food group supplies important nutrients, including vitamins and minerals.
Vegetables: 3-5 servings per day. A serving may consist of 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables, 3/4 cup of vegetable juice, or 1/2 cup of other vegetables, chopped raw or cooked.
Fruits: 2-4 servings per day. A serving may consist of 1/2 cup of sliced fruit, 3/4 cup of fruit juice, or a medium-size whole fruit, like an apple, banana, or pear.
Bread, cereal, or pasta: 6-11 servings per day. Each serving should equal 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup of rice or pasta, or 1 ounce of cereal.
Protein foods: 2-3 servings of 2-3 ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish per day.A serving in this group may also consist of 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans, one egg, or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for each ounce of lean meat.
Dairy products: 2-3 servings per day of 1 cup of low-fat milk or yogurt, or 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese.
I think that Although food habits are not stable and unchanging during a person’s lifetime, a base for healthy food habits can be created in early childhood. Children’s food habits can be assumed to be influenced by their parents’ food habits and choices.
The aim of this article is to review factors influencing food choice in children as well as in adults. The results demonstrate that the development of children’s food habits is influenced by a multitude of factors. Parents play an important role in the formation of food habits and preferences of young children.
They can influence their children’s food choice by making specific foods available, by acting as models for their children and by their behaviour in specific situations. Children tend to be afraid of new foods and do not readily accept them. However, experience is known to enhance preference, and earlier experiences of a particular food are the major determinants of the development of children’s food acceptance patterns.
Thus, parents should be encouraged to make healthy foods easily available to the child and serve these foods in positive mealtime situations in order to help their child to develop healthy food habits.

It is best food for school going children because it a sweet and delicious dish. It is tasty in eaten as I have from my net friends but I have not eaten it still.
As I think that his is a wonderful meal you can whip up in around 10 minutes. What I love about these delicious green pea fritters is that you can also take any leftovers to work the next day and enjoy them cold or warm with a side salad of leafy greens, a squeeze of lemon and cold pressed olive oil.
I think these may be its benefits health wise as Green peas are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. They are a great source of Vitamin A, K + folate, fibre and packed with protein as well as iron for energy metabolism.
Ricotta is a good source of protein, which encourages muscle growth and repair. Protein also stimulates the production of growth hormone that is responsible for bone and muscle strength that decreases as we age. Studies show that overweight people have lower-than-normal levels of growth hormone in their body, which may make it harder for them to lose weight as growth hormone can promote fat burning in the body.
HGH can be increased naturally by a quality protein- and vegetable-rich diet, getting quality sleep and enjoying regular exercise.
Green peas are highly rich in protein content. They should be taken in small quantities as it will be quite difficult to digest. A healthy person can digest easily 10 gms of Green peas.
If it is included in your regular diet in small quantities one need not consult any doctor for deficiency problems relating to proteins.
The recipe you have described here is similar to THE MASALA STUFFED INTO SAMOSA. The main difference arises while making mashing the Green peas. Here we grind it and make it a rough paste. We add Chilli powder in place of sugar. Rice flour is added in a small quantity.
Instead of preparing fritters with the stuff we dough it adding some Potatoes (boiled and mashed), some boiled and nicely cut vegetables like carrot, beans, cauliflower, etc. We keep this mix aside.
We prepare the dough of Pancake. Make small balls of it. Each ball will be pressed against the floor into a square shape. We place the Green peas stuff at the center of the square-shaped dough.It will be folded into a triangle shape. This is a technique. We fry it in a hot sunflower oil taken in a Pan having a deep base. When it turns into brown in color it will be taken away into a separate container. They will be quite crispy and crunchy also. We can take them as morning / evening snack along with a cup of hot tea.
