Tips for introducing new foods to children:

~ let them see you eat it first
~ give them a small piece to try
~ say "Oh I bet you'll like this" rather than "Do you want to try this?"
~ let them know it's ok not to like it but that you expect them to try at least one bite
~ offer it again, .... and again .... and again and over time their taste will adapt to it.
