[quote=Anonymous]New poster here. I would have a sit down with your daughter, separate from mealtime. I would do it at a time she's relaxed, when both of you are relaxed. If your wife is also concerned about the meal skipping, ask her to join in. Tell your daughter that you have noticed that she is no longer eating dinner and you are concerned. There are good nutritional habits and eating regular meals is one of them. Tell her you would like to understand why she is doing this. If she isn't hungry over a long time period, that's a matter of concern, enough that she needs to see the doctor. If she is interested in dieting, that's reasonable, but it also needs to start with a trip to the doctor to find out what is reasonable for her age. No diet should involved skipping meals. You and she can research nutrition and diets together. Maybe make it a project.[/quote]
