I'm Neil. And I'm Georgie. Some kids hate eating broccoli. For others, it's mushrooms. And worst of all, of course, are Brussels sprouts. Every parent of young children knows what food they will and won't eat. What food did you dislike as a child, Georgie? Ooh, when I was little, I used to absolutely hate nuts and avocados. But now, as an adult, I absolutely love both of those things.
I'm not surprised. They're delicious. What about you, Neil? Did you dislike any foods? Do you know what? I think I liked most things. Family dinner time can be fun. A chance to reconnect, hear about everyone's day and share a meal. But when children refuse to eat the food that's been cooked, the result is often conflict rather than family fun.
BBC Radio 4 programme The Food Chain asked child nutritionist and mother of two, Charlotte Sterling-Reed, whether her kids eat everything she gives them.
They definitely don't. We go through multiple periods of ups and downs where their appetite is much lower and then all of a sudden it comes right back. It depends on the weather, what they've been doing that day. It can depend on their mood.
At dinner time, Charlotte's children go through ups and downs – a phrase meaning that a mixture of good and bad things happen to them. Sometimes they eat everything happily, other times they don't. It depends on many things including their day, the weather and their mood. A person's mood is the way they're feeling at a particular time.
So, how can parents make dinner time something everyone enjoys? In this episode we'll be hearing from three experts on young children's eating habits and learning some useful new words and phrases too. And remember you'll find all the vocabulary from this episode along with a quiz and worksheet on our website bbclearningenglish.com. But first, of course, Georgie, I have a question for you.

Chapter 2: What common foods do children dislike and why?
Your mood is how you feel at a particular time. A battleground is a place or situation where argument or conflict happens. If something is a big deal, it's of special importance to you. A food allergy is a medical condition where certain foods make your body sick. And finally, a winning formula is a method or strategy that produces successful results.

Tapahtuipa kerran, että pessimisti, optimisti ja saletisti suunnittelivat tapasiltaa. Ja niinhän siinä kävi, että saletisti onnistui. Saletisti onnistuu!
