Mix in vegetables with foods that your child already likes, such as a topping on pizza, extra in spaghetti sauce, or mix in a casserole or soup. Let your kids grow their own vegetables or visit a farmer's market to buy fresh vegetables. Provide raw vegetables, such as baby carrots, as a snack. Offer a lot of choices, provide small servings at first, and keep in mind that some picky eaters won't try a new vegetable until they see it on their plate 10 or more times.

I don't know if that will help, but maybe there will be some ideas for you. As far as getting kids to eat veggies outright, have you tried asking them what's wrong with them? Lots of kids don't like food that's soggy and boiled, but they'll chew on fresh celery or broccoli all day long. Or, with a touch of melted velveeta, anything looks good to a 4 year old.
