She put a strawberry in an ice cream cone for the kids to eat fruit
It’s hard to get kids to listen to us, especially regarding health. Keeping them away from candy and getting them to eat fruits and vegetables can be a real challenge. Sometimes it’s not enough to explain why they need to eat these foods; that’s why mothers often cut vegetables into tiny pieces and “hide” them in food.

But what this mother did was entirely out of line. She took a juicy red strawberry and put it in an ice cream cone. This way, younger children would be more tempted to eat the fruit. We’re not sure up to what age children would fall for that trap, but if it worked for her, we trust it.
