Help Kids Like Veggies (NAPSA)—Getting children to eat their veggies can seem more like child’s play if you heed these do’s and don'ts. Don’t try to hide vegetables in your kid’s dinner. Do let the child decide how much to eat at any meal. Don’t pressure your children. That can cause them to rebel, making vegetables the enemy. Do introduce new vegetables to your children regularly to give them an opportunity to try veg- gies without a battle. With mashed sweetpotatoes, chil- dren hardly notice they’re eating vegetables that are goodfor them. For example, one delicious new vegetable you can present to your kids is the sweet potato. Sweet potatoes (yams) are naturally sweet yet very nutritious. Mashed sweet potatoes can be made at any time of the year, with canned or fresh sweet potatoes.
