Have you tried raw veges? My 4.5 y.o loves raw carrots, I buy the Dutch ones (small and nicer taste) and she eats 3-5 a day. Also frozen peas (of course get your child to sit still for them to avoid choking), for some reason my kids think they are great.

Also maybe you could try juicing?

If your child will eat fruit not veg, then take advantage of that - fruit has more natural sugar but contains much the same vitamins etc as vegetables, so make sure to offer lots of fruit instead.

And keep offering the veges, the stage may pass.

By the way your post looks really odd. Did your space bar die?!

have you tried giving his dinner (veges) to him the next day. my nearly three year old, didn't eat her dinner last night, i wrapped it up, put it in the fridge. today when she asked for a sandwhich for lunch, i said no this is your lunch today, and got out last nights dinner. she ate it all up (all the veges) then still asked for sandwhich.

other ideas are blending or grating veges into soups, bolanaise sauces, mashed potatoe with other mashed veges.

Thank..you..for..getting..back..sooo..quickly!..Yes..he..loves.fruit..there.isn't..a..type..of..fruit..he..won't..eat!..and..yes..sorry..my..3yr..old..stuffed..around..with..our..computer..last..week..and..broke..the..space.bar..yet..to..be..repaired!..hahaha..thank..you
