How how how how????!!!!######%$%$^

I think my first question would be does she snack a lot or drink a lot of milk or juice. Snacks, candy, juices and milk might be her fillers. My daughter had a roommate with a 3 year old and he would drink a pitcher of juice in a day and never want to eat. They took away the juice and then he started getting hungery. I don't know if this will help, but it's a suggestion.

First off just relax. The kids is obviously not wasting away. What I have done is make it clear that the child will get no other food until the next meal. If they do not want to eat then leave it be. By the time the next meal comes along she will be hungry. If it is a way to get attention then she will learn that it will not work any more. If she just isn't hungry or snacks too much this will have a cause and effect lesson attached to it. It is not as drastic as it sounds. If it is better just put food away until she is Hungary then give it to her.

I don't have kids yet but agree with the first responder. I think that we need to start feeding kids healthier foods, and give them a balanced number in snacks, etc.

My youngest daughter was like that. Except that shwe ate perfectly well when we went to someone else´s house. The people would ask me what kind terrible things was I feeding her. It took me 10 years to discover that not eating was a way of manipulating me.By the way, they do eat. Only they don´t eat the food we want them to eat. My daughter learned to see the time because I would tell her (one of the ideas that did not work) that after 20 minutes I would retire her plate. She learned to read thekitchen watch when she was very little to reming me I had to take the dish away. The dostor told me not to worry as long as she was healthy.

My son was the same way for many years almost 10 nothing worked and sometimes it does not the key is to get the calories into them in ways they do not realize nor will they care. Talk to a nutristinist there are ways such as adding butter to things you can sour cream is another I want to say but not sure now. They will or should have the list of calorie boosters. The goal is to maintain and hopefully increase the weight not lose and hoping someday there desire to eat will come along. It took us 10 years but now he eats he was about 38 pounds when he was about 11 he know is 13 and weighs almost 100 I have not weighed him recently there is hope is my point. Although sometimes trying to force them can not be the answer for it will cause more resistance down the road.
