What can I do if my seven year old refuses to eat?

Answer by  trynzh (72)

You can give her an option of reward or punishment, or you can explain to her in details what is going to happen to her digestive organ if she refuses to eat. Sometimes, a promise of dessert after a meal will ussually do the trick. If all else fails, just wait until she gets hungry and ask you for food

You should talk to your child and find out why he/she won't eat. It could be that they are not feeling well or it could be that they are a picky eater. If it is the latter, find out what they like and try variations of it.

If your seven year old won't eat then you work with them. Talk to them and ask them what they like and what they dislike to eat. Ask them why they like or dislike it and create meals that you will both enjoy. You can make a project out of it and create a menu or calendar of meals.
