How do I get my son to eat more food?
Question:
Answers:
Kid's do go through these things. Let him eat what he likes, and there are substitute meal shakes. Like pediasure. If you are real worried talk to his physician
I think the main thing is to stay calm...if he picks up on ANY anxiety from you it will make him worse.
Sounds like you are doing all the right things...just keep nice bits of food around - offer it to him - if he refuses , stay calm , say ok - he knows its there if he wants it...then he can come to you when he's ready , then calmly give it to him like its no big deal at all!
He'll be FINE
u cant force him actually.. ummm try takin him 2 his fave resturant
Loosing 3 kg in 1 month is not normal. Pls go to the pediatrician for advice asap. Probably there is something that you don't know causing your son doesn't want to eat.
i don't want to alarm you, but try getting him tested for diabeties, the signs are being thirsty, and weight loss, talk to his doctor!
good luck!
shes right. you might also want to try feeding him things with a higher calorie/ fat count (Good things though, like protien, peanut butter, cheese) so he doesnt have to physically eat more to take in more calories. Cerial and toast are filling but dont offer as many calories as other things/
Lots of kids eat little. But they will eat what their bodies require. Just keep offering him lots of different kinds of food. My stepson used to do be that way, his mother used to leave his plate out and he would graze. I stopped allowing him to do this and said to him eat now or don't eat. He eventualy started eating with the rest of us. However if he loses more than five pounds, please seek medical advice.
