help my child wont eat

NAS74346

I am having real problems with my little girl and eating. Its amazing has little she can function on. meal times is such a battle and stressful.

She only wants to eat crap and i dont want her going on like this. She will have melt downs and tantrums if she cant get her own way and will happily starve. 

  • i dunno what to say other than maybe allow her to eat the crap?

    i too feel that "real" food is boring and bland.... which could be the issue... while sweets and chocolates are all very appetizing... the issue is the real food could be too boring and not appetizing enough... or maybe theres too much of it.... try smaller servings and more flavourful appetizing foods.

    or maybe not as chips are also good but they are pretty bland when i think on it, but with lots of salt and vinegar to boost flavour i guess..... anyway you should try different foods and maybe smaller sizes of it. the feeling of being full is always sickening and puts anyone off food. and the blander the food the less of it you want.

  • I have the same problems, have you tried cooking with her and asking her to just try it? i usually find its the way it looks too, maybe try make the presentation look more fun? I have a 7 year old and its 'pizza' all the time, which isnt ideal
