Our son is turning 3 this March, we are kinda worried because he has poor appetite, his weight is borderline normal, and skips meal most of the time. He's an active kid though, playing with his friends just like any normal kid. He just eats biscuits, cookies and milk and for supplements, we give him multivitamins. Is our son ok?

Your son is a 100% OK. Now the BIG challenge is on how you can find ways to make him eat nutritious foods. Color make the food more appealing thus it makes kids more attracted to a plate of food that has lots of colors on it. You can also try cutting fruits into different funny shapes that could really spark the creativty of you kid and at the same time it would motivate him to eat healthy food. You can also try re-inforcing food to your kid while he is playing with other kids. Most children would like to eat something while they are with other kids. Hope this helps you a bit!
