Trying to get a child to eat vegetables is bound to result in a battle of wills. Of course, parents simply want what’s best for their children, but trying to convince a small child that eating a well-balanced diet is important to their well-being is not easy. From throwing food on the floor to just sitting there in absolute defiance, trying to outlast a stubborn child who refuses to eat even one pea is enough to make even the most patient parent throw their hands up in the air.
