My DD eats her veggies only at her daycare (private in house kind of daycare). We think that it is because she sits at the table with the other kids to eat lunch (other kids are 3 &4). Also, she gets to pick a veggie from the pantry. Maybe you could try that.

I allow Rachel to choose what veggies she wants but even then she won't always eat them.  on different days/moods she will eat cauli, peas, sweetcorn, corn on cob, mange tout, butternut squash and carrots but you never can tell.  I have learned to just relax and let her eat what she eats.  and my top tip is to have friends round, she eats everything when she's got people watching - unless it's one of the kids that won't eat anything  :o

My lo loves her veggies too and all fruits especially brocoli and blue berries she could eat a tub of the latter.  I think it is mainly due to her being so independent and she can eat veggies with fingers. :D

You've reminded me - can I give those of you with littler ones a tip I've learnt the hard way? - If they are eating a fruit/veg well, DON'T stop giving it to them, be consistent. My ds absolutely LOVED fresh blueberries, used to pop them in his mouth like sweets, then, one winter they were harder to come by, I got out of the habit, I tried him with them again in the spring - he wouldn't eat them, and never has since :(

Yep, totally agree with that! As I said on a prev post here we can only get fruit in season and last summer DS refused the summer fruit (that he had eaten the summer before that).
But I didn't give up and kept on offering it every couple of days. After about a week or so, he started eating it ;) ;D
So don't give up and keep offering every food/fruit/veg you can find ;)
