My eight year old son hates vegetables except potatoes.He skips dinner just to avoid them.I donot want to compromise with his health.I wonder how other moms deal with their veg-hater kids.

If your son is skipping meals altoghether instead of eating veggies I think that the two of you need to come to a compromise because this is definitely not good for him. Since he likes potatoes you could serve them with every meal and I'm assuming that he likes meat so there are two things that he'll eat. Do you think he'd be more interested in vegetables if they were mixed with something? I'm thinking about mac and cheese with little bits of broccoli mixed in or any kind of noodles and sauce that he may like with chopped up anything you can sneak in there. Your son should also be taking a multivitamin every day to make sure he gets all of the nutrients he needs and should drink juice. Has he tried any of the V8 juices, by the way? Maybe you can get him interested in one of their blends. Good luck.
