[00:00:13.100]Let's look at some strategies
[00:00:15.050]using mealtime verbal comments to help you
[00:00:17.504]be a healthy role model for children.
[00:00:21.550]Make specific comments by describing the taste
[00:00:25.210]and texture of foods,
[00:00:27.000]for example a specific statement such as,
[00:00:31.040]this pineapple tastes so sweet and juicy
[00:00:34.750]is more effective to improVe a child's food acceptance
[00:00:38.280]than simply saying this pineapple tastes good.
[00:00:42.470]Okay, now its pineapple.
[00:00:44.880]Oh, it looks so sweet and juicy
[00:00:48.530]and it looks so fresh.
[00:00:50.830]I am going to try some.
[00:00:52.593]You wanna taste some, its really yummy.
[00:00:54.749]Wanna try some right now, okay.
[00:00:56.146](children giggling)
[00:00:57.650]Be enthusiastic, be excited about healthy eating,
[00:01:01.510]may motivate a child's openness
[00:01:03.345]to trying different foods.
[00:01:05.790]For example, if I say this carrots look so sweet and crunchy
[00:01:11.520]I can't wait to taste them,
[00:01:13.470]this is more effective
[00:01:14.730]than just saying, "Try this carrots".
[00:01:18.740]This water chestnuts are so crunchy.
[00:01:22.350]I have to try them again.
[00:01:25.060]Hmm, can you hear crunchy?
[00:01:28.310]I like it.
[00:01:29.590]Ask questions about the types of foods and vegetables
[00:01:33.040]children see on their plate
[00:01:34.625]or their favorite foods and vegetables.
[00:01:38.650]This could engage and encourage children
[00:01:41.319]to try these foods.
[00:01:43.730]What kind of vegetable do you see in the vegetables?
[00:01:47.554]I think I see broccoli, pepper
[00:01:53.165]and corn, and there is peas.
[00:01:58.970]Yes, what's those orange things?
[00:02:01.120]Orange? Carrots.
[00:02:02.180]Carrots, carrots.
[00:02:04.770]And there is mushrooms.
[00:02:05.700]And mushrooms.
[00:02:08.490]I want you guys to tell me
[00:02:09.580]what your favorite vegetable was in there.
[00:02:14.482]The carrots.
[00:02:15.658]The carrots, I like carrots too.
[00:02:19.080]I like the carrots too.
[00:02:20.900]I like carrots because we can eat carrots
[00:02:22.530]in a lot of different ways.
[00:02:23.880]You can eat them cooked,
[00:02:25.040]but we don't have to cook them.
[00:02:26.610]We can eat them raw.
[00:02:28.220]We usually eat carrots too.
[00:02:30.179]I eat raw, when I was at grandma's house I ate raw beans
[00:02:33.743]You ate raw beans?
[00:02:35.296]When we eat vegetables that are raw,
[00:02:37.610]are they really crunchy?
[00:02:39.533]Yeah they are like, you can hear them.
[00:02:41.643]You can definitely hear them in bed.
[00:02:44.310]Use absolute comments
[00:02:46.950]and absolute statements such as,
[00:02:49.024]"I like oranges because they are so sweet and yummy."
[00:02:53.430]Is more effective, than using a comparative statement.
[00:02:56.950]Such as, "I like oranges, more than apples."
[00:03:01.808]I always eat my vegetables, right?
[00:03:04.150]'Cause my vegetables make me strong,
[00:03:07.750]helps my body.
[00:03:11.280]You can call your mom.
[00:03:13.144]I want the vegetables.
[00:03:14.253]More vegetables, yes, there you go.
[00:03:20.050]I can get on one whole bite
[00:03:22.200]One whole bite?
[00:03:24.240]Like this big? No.
[00:03:29.220]I like the fruit.
[00:03:30.220]It was so sweet and soft and juicy.
[00:03:33.351]Would anyone else like to try some fruit?
[00:03:34.853]Me, me, me.
[00:03:35.686]Me, me.
[00:03:37.727]Why do you like the fruit?
[00:03:39.894]Because its so soft and love it so much.
[00:03:43.320]Oh great, anyone else like to try some fruit?
[00:03:47.089]Me, me, me, me, me.
[00:03:48.430]Hey make sure you pass it to your friends.
