Can anyone give me ideas on how to get my 6year old to eat Meat?

We don't eat of meat either. We often go week without. You should embrace her different diet and learn how to cook food that is balanced that the whole family will enjoy. There are plenty of vegetarian foods out there that are full of iron. If you are really worried, give her a multiviatmin.

Although mine wasn't that bad, she sure was picky! Till age 2 she'd eat anything set in front of her! Once 2 she got really picky. Now her daughter is really picky too! Maybe try to tell her that "to eat" is why the animals are here -God gave them to us for that reason. or something to that nature, based on what your religious beliefs are. It is certainly a hard thing to explain, could be she'll grow out of it or after seeing her friends all eating meat, she'll eventually start back up. My GD at 7 and really picky - she liked chicken nuggest but only if from fast food. Well, it came out that McDonalds chicken nuggets were something like 75% fish products! I forget the exacts but it was all over the news! She hates fish (well, never tried it but of course says she hates it!) and she heard that and although knowing she was no eating mostly fish, she will still eat them. Yes, she will ask for another "brand" but if that is what shei s given, she has no trouble eating them and then makes fun about it! "I'm eating fish, are you happy?" kind of thing! Then last year, (her absolute love is dolphins and whales) and she goes to Sea World oftena nd feedss the dolphins things. Well, I make my own chicken nuggets for her and she loves them - even when she sees the rare chicken and sees me fry it up. Well, last year it was really odd, she was playing like she waa a dolphin and if I fed her like I would dolpin (you know, let her jump in the air or whatevera dolphin does!) she'd grab the meat (no matter waht kind it was!) out of my hand and eat it! I had to call it "squid" or something related to dolpin, but she'd eat any meat I gave "dolphin". So maybe make some kind of game out of it for your daughter. Then, it just occured to me (I always try to teach her home ec. things) so I when she asked if the dolphin oculd come play I said I had to make some "squid". She asked if she could help. So I show her how to dredge in the egg, flour and bread crumbs and this little girl had the best time making her own "squid"! i was amazed at how well she did -touching the rare chicken and everything! She ate every single nugget she made! Now, I ask her and she just makes it and eats it without hte dolphin input! So, again, make a game out of it and relate it to something that she loves. Or If she has an animal, maybe tell her - if kitty doesn't eat her meat she will get really weak and could get hurt... same could happen to you as you need the iron and protein in meat..... Good luck to you. Let me know the out come - sure would probably be alot of help to many with this same dilema!
