I learned this little bit of parenting knowledge from my own mom. If I were to ask my kids if they wanted fruit or veggies for a snack they'd say no and start asking for other things. But, if I just set out a plate and nonchalantly put it in front of them they will devour the whole plate. Pretty sneaky right?

That is absolutely brilliant! Not just for them but for me.
A friend of mine suggested doing this with a fruit or veggie tray 20 minutes before dinner when everyone is bugging you about 'When are we going to eat?'
I keep meaning to do it. I even bought one of those pricey Pampered Chef Chilled Trays for it but haven't gotten around to it. Since I just did my Costco run and have lots of fresh veggies, I'm going to do this tonight. Thanks for the reminder. It really is a great tip.
I'll keep this in mind
That's GOOD sneaky!
Wish I had thought of that when my kids were growing up.
It still works for me when mom does it!
Glad this helps! Cynthia, not long before dinner is exactly when I do it. Then if they try to skip their veggies at dinner I'm not as frusterated by it.
