Copy Kids – How to get your kids to eat fruits and vegetables

March 8, 2012 By: Calley Patecomment

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to have new content delivered to your inbox! I hope to see you on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I have a lot of information on rock painting and cloth diapers in my archives if you're interested! Thanks for visiting!

Do you ever wonder how other parents get their kids to eat their fruits and vegetables?  They copy what they see around them.

Copy Kids DVD Review

My parents raised my brother and I to always try what was on the table.  We didn’t have to like it but we had to try it.  I will have to admit I didn’t always like that my mom made me try things but as a parent I appreciate it even more.  We don’t cook different meals for our kids – they have to eat what we are cooking.  Sometimes that means salmon, veggie pizza, and other random goodies!

Does it always work?  No, but they are more adventurous in their food choices because of it.  My son grew up loving avocado when I had never even tried it.  Now it’s a staple food in our pantry and we all eat it.  My daughter eats raw onions, peppers, and just about any food you put in front of her (including sushi and wasabi – no joke!).  Just last night I made an asparagus pizza and there weren’t any leftovers for lunch today.

Asparagus Pizza

Yes, my kids ate this!

When I received an email from the producer of Copy-Kids about their new DVD about healthy eating I was excited to show it to my youngest.  The video is divided into chapters; each featuring a different fruit or vegetable.  I was surprised to see bell peppers and cucumbers being nibbled up by the kids in the video.  The idea behind the video is that if your child sees other children eating fruits and vegetables that they will want to copy their peers and try them too.  

I absolutely adored watching the kids in the video as they ate the different veggies and giggled!  They made eating fruits and vegetables look fun.  Now – you don’t have to be a genius to know that if your kids think it’s cool and fun to do something that they will want to do it too.  (The only thing I wish I had seen were better table manners – all of the kids were munching with their mouths wide open – a major peeve of mine!)  My daughter giggled along with the kids and asked to watch it over and over again.  I let her pick which chapter she watched next – her favorites were the tomatoes and the raspberries!  Guess I’ll need to buy some more of those to keep in the house now.

Want a quick glimpse of what you’ll find in the Copy-Kids DVD?  Watch their short video trailer to see these kids biting into raw red peppers.  To view this trailer on YouTube: http://youtu.be/bMdskr_3EGQ

What adorable kids, Copy-Kids!  To find out more about the video or to purchase one for your child visit them online today.

Are your kids adventurous in the kitchen or do they stick with the kid-friendly diet of mac-n-cheese?  What is the craziest food your child has eaten?

    1 day ago by backtocalley We only spent half a day at Universal this weekend but we saw a lot of new things that we haven’t done yet.

    1 week ago by backtocalley Today was a pretty special day! My parents and my Aunt & Uncle renewed their vows after almost 50 years as husband and wife. The church does a renewal ceremony each year and they did an amazing job celebrating these guys, complete with cake and a reception. How many times do we get to see our parents get married and profess their love for each other?! 50 years (in June) came with a lot of love, laughter, tears, sadness, and happiness but the way they looked at each other in the eyes and the way they teared up during their
