I have been trying to teach my 4 year old son to eat healthy for the past year. I tell him how good it is to eat fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods. I tell him not to eat too many cookies and chocolate.
Does he listen to me? Absolutely not. He does not care what I have to say. He just wants his chocolate and cookies.
Then he watches TV and there is a Subway Sandwich commercial and the slogan says "Eat Fresh." Now he says Eat Fresh all the time.
So that's the slogan I use to get him to eat healthy and it works. Everytime I give him a sandwich I fill it up with vegetables and surprisingly he does not pull them out. He says, "eat fresh. mommy look, I am eating fresh." And he is really excited about it.
So who said watching TV is bad. So far a TV commercial had a positive effect on my 4 year old.
I now make him vegetable and fruit sandwiches. I love it. Thank you Subway commercial.
