Many modern children under the age of six are still too busy investigating their world to take enough time to chew.
Do not get upset when your child does not want to eat pay attention not to eat, it makes it much more satisfying for your child not to eat than to eat. Rather, let your child choose foods because if he feels he has control over what he eats, he may be more enthusiastic.
Do not use bribes or beg when your child does not eat, this makes not eating a game to get attention and gives your child the feeling that he has dominated you. Instead stimulate your child's appetite by offering less food more often, remember that your child's stomach is not as big as yours.
Do not always offer your child an edible reward for having eaten. Leave the food where it belongs, the food is meant to feed. That is why provide variety and a balanced diet make the role of teacher providing a variety of flavors, colors and textures where he feels curious to try and experiment. To do this, stimulate your child when you barely taste a spoonful of any food.
Do not tell others that your child does not want to eat, do not exaggerate the attention you give to your child's eating patterns, so that food is not the battlefield where you fight for power. Simply incorporate a meal schedule that is respected between both remember that if you skip meals he will see that eating is not so important because after all you are well.
Now, be careful, do not confuse, observe first the behavior and the characteristics that your child presents and seek help if he thinks he is sick because otherwise it is appropriate to take him to the doctor, in another case it is perhaps convenient for you and your little one, find psychological professional help.

I am happy to help you, our children are usually a box of surprises and they teach us a lot while we learn
