How do you get your teens to eat healthily?
My 13 year old won't eat if it's not junk. (Water being the only exception)
There are ingredients in the fridge for quick snacks like ready chopped fruit, yoghurt, fresh pasta, bread for toast, a panini maker etc but at the moment the only veg he eats is in a burger bun.
I ask him for healthy food that he would eat but they are rejected. He gets 20 quid a month pocket money and I suspect they go on pop and snacks. Do I need to stop this?
I obviously can't force him to eat.
He's slim so he thinks he's fine but he's not.
What do I do?
