I don't hide anything. I provide them a tablespoon of each item on their plate, not too much so I am confident they can eat it. They would have to be visibly sick if they weren't able to eat it. If they don't eat it for lunch, they can eat it for snack. I don't coax, remind or mention anything at all. For afternoon snack we always have something the children adore. When they are done their lunch, they are welcome to have some of the other snack.
It usually takes about two weeks for them to be stellar eaters here. They all eat veggies and dip every Wednesday and have salads regularly with their lunches. They need to finish their small portion of salad before they eat their yummy main dish such as lasagna or spaghetti.
I also do lots of praise for the children eating well and don't say anything to the ones that aren't. They catch on real quickly.
Most of children in my day home are still picky at home, but aren't picky at my home in the slightest. All of my children are fantastic eaters.
