[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless she is failure to thrive or can’t keep up with other kids her age I would try and take a step back and stop worrying about it. I know it’s hard, but offer 3 means a day, 2 snacks and what she eats she eats. I would not allow dessert tho like any cookies, candy, etc unless a certain amount is eaten. I always did my kids age in bites and that worked well. Stop cajoling and bribing. Don’t give crap “ just so she will eat something” so many people fall into that and then you have a kid who only eats nuggets, hot dogs etc. [/quote] +1 She may not be hungry and may not need a lot of food. Two year olds can out-eat four year olds. She is very distracted and that may be part of the issue. But the other part of the issue is that she may not need more than a couple bites of food. [/quote]
