If your child isn’t eating, the main reason may be because he just isn’t hungry. By understanding your child’s hunger and fullness cues, you can plan your child’s meals. You can also entice your child’s appetite with a variety of colourful food, such as fruits and vegetables. Arrange them in interesting ways, like rice in animal shapes, or make flowers with fruit slices. Another way is to remove distractions. Ensure that your child’s focus isn’t on a tablet, phone or television, but on his food. If your child hasn’t been eating his regular portion for a while, it may be due to a medical condition.
