great ideas – I find growing it yourself helps too, especially if the kids can help with picking. (All I need to do now is give up the chocolate.)

I find slicing works best for me, especially with apples and pears! x

My son doesn’t need much encouragement, as long as fruit is accessible he’ll eat it – so maybe another tip is make sure the fruit bowl is a child height. Your first point, leading by example is a really good one. I do eat a lot of fruit but often in the evening after my son has gone to bed. Maybe i need to let him see me eating it more often. Thanks

Great tips! I am trying to start with breakfast, as when we do that we seem to get off to a great start and hitting 5 seems easier.

Thanks Dawn, I think the routine makes a real difference as the boys now just assume that mid afternoon means ‘fruit time’ and that they always have some with their breakfast.

Some excellent tips here. I particularly like the one about fruit being a part of your daily routine. Right from when my children were tiny I have included fruit every day, so now they are used to having it and sometimes actually ask for it!
