What fruit do your children enjoy the most?

I often say to other mums who ask me how I get my children to eat healthily, 'you have to offer them healthy foods'. They also must see you eating it too! - so lead by example! Its great when you introduce a new food to your children, they look at you in amazement like you have just discovered something wonderful just for them!

It is almost like you were right here in my house today. I did not want to scare him about the pit in the cherries nor let him bite into it like a grape and risk hurting his teeth. So we approached eating cherries like it was a discovery expedition. It was so much fun and now he really loves them. I enjoyed hearing him tell his daddy about 'discovering cherries' today. We will be discovering peaches later in the week. He did not like them as a baby, and has shown a little interest in them out of a can. I really want him to have a fresh one before his opinion gets very determined.

Maybe you could try him on nectarines before peaches and tell him that peaches are just like nectarines with their clothes on! I did this with my son and he went around telling people he ate all his fruit, even its clothes! I love kids they remind us to smile :)

Oh watermelon and magoes are MY favourite fruits, you have good taste! I would like to know more about the fruits you have in Thialand... wonder if we have any Australian fruits here....?

I have had lots of passionfruit - yum! I have not however, had dragon fruit, now this sounds interesting! What colour, shape, taste do they have? Do you know why they are called dragon fruit?

There are variety of fruits offered in Thailand, some are all year round and others are seasonal. Have you tried passion fruit? It's kinda like guava because of its seeds. It's sort of like kiwi aswell... ^^ Has anyone ever tried Dragon Fruit?

Yes apples are very beneficial - but you do have to watch out for the sugar content, make sure you brush your teeth after an apple, their sugar is very corrosive to teeth!

It sounds like you keep your dining table looking lovely. I have not heard about bananas and milk being a good option when you are not in the mood for 'real food' I will have to try this out. Does it actually settle your stomach?

Thats it, who doesn't like watermelon indeed! I have fond memories of these tasty, seedy fruit as a child and have not stopped loving it as an adult. I have passed this love onto my children who really enjoy it - although I usually buy them the seedless variety.

It sounds like she enjoys mushing it in her hands as much as mushing it in her mouth! Pretty much all children enjoy sweet, soft bananas. I miss the days where a banana kept my children entertained! They are all growing up so quickly!
