i am not forcing her to eat!

you cant force them to eat. grand daughter will eat certain things but when it comes to a meal time she might no be hungry or she just dont like what we fix some days she hardly eats anything good for her then she makes it up on other days and eats every thing in sight. At least she isnt eatting candy and I see nothing wrong with tomatoes they are good for you. too. and I have heard what they dont eat id made up for in about a week every thing gets balanced out for them.

Nah, she'll get over it. I remember my youngest eat just mushroom in thick soup. Take that opportunity to cook foods with tomatoes on it, she'll probably wont resist it or just take the tomatoes in which way she has taken something. My kids had this alternate of low meal intake but they eat something in between attractive biscuits, piza, kakanin specially cooked snacks done in front of them or they have participated in preparing for it. You have to creative in attracting them to eat something.

You can't force kids to eat what you want them to eat. All you can do is offer healthful substitutes. If you really want her to eat something else, don't buy more tomatoes. What will she eat then? She does need a source of protein. Also, a multivitamin daily might be good. Will she drink those Pediasure shakes? Basically, kids go in spurts like that and just as quickly move on to a new favorite food.

It is good that your child loves to eat tomatoes which not many kids do. She will have a beautiful skin and loads of vitamin c. As am not a nutritionist I would not know whether it is good, not to take proper food. But logically, she will be deficient in other vital nutrients which will retard her growth to a certain extent.

One of my kids is a little bothering right now. He has also that kind of attitude that eats in between meals. So during meals, he already lost his appetite. I can't force him and even his mom cannot. But I thought that anybody or everybody went through that kind of attitude, so let's wait for some times and their appetite will surely be back. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

You have to somehow. One way is to let her eat as many of them as she wants. Usually that can make them lose interest in them.If this does not work, then also you have to make her eat good nutritious food. It is really important when children are small as they are growing.

Your little princess would love living here. I have about 10 tomato plants. I eat fresh vine riped tomatoes everyday. We have beefstake, plum and cherry tomatoes. Even though she likes to eat only tomatoes and they are very good for her, you have to find a way to get her to eat other vegatables and fruits. She'll soon develope an apetite for other foods such as chicken, beef, rice, etc. As for now, it's nice to know she likes tomatoes as opposed to just eating potato chips, candy and other types of junk food.

You have to make her try it. Keep the tomatoes to a minimum. Make the foods attractive. If you have a blender, you can blend it in with the tomato juice. Make a game out of it. You may have to sneak it in, make like you really like it. You can also say she will not get any tomatoes until she tries the new food. You have to make it feel as if it is her idea to try it.

Hi bombshell, I guess it is better if she will not skip any meal..How about giving her some rice with tomato and some viands! I got friends who will be forcing their kids to eat or give something as little reward when they will eat! it might not be good but we can change the motivation each day! I have no kids yet..LOL! I will learning from this post as my advance tips!

My daughter has nights when the only thing she eats for dinner is tomato and cucumber. Once in awhile I think it is fine, but if your daughter is only eating tomato all the time then I would limit it and try to get some other foods in her. Maybe give her some tomato along with some other food and if she eats the other food then she gets more tomato.
