controversial researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition That s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked said Jane Wardle a researcher at University College London who worked on the study Verbal praise such as Brilliant You re a great vegetable taster did not work as well The study found t hat when

stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable A second group of parents used verbal praise The third group where parents used no special vegetable promoting methods served as a control Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the target vegetable every day of 12 days Soon after children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables and were willing to eat more in the research lab going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12 day experience The turnaround also seemed
