my 9 year old won't eat.

my 9 year old won’t eat. I am not sure if its because my 3 month old wont ear and she wants attention or is this something serious

Answer #1

I also have a 9 yr old daughter that will not eat her lunch at school . I have tried every thing that is listed to no evale . now it is starting to effect her health so to the doctor we go . plus I think I might show her some pictures of annorexic girls , maybe that will scare her into eating . sounds rough but I don’t know what else to do .

Answer #2

try eating with her or take her to mcdonalds its not good for her but at least she will eat or you can try this fun trick why dont you make somthing like a house out of food and maybe it will be more fun for her or try some forin food like chince or itlain

Answer #3

Maybe she could help you make dinner one night. Have her choose the meal and you two could make it together.

Answer #4

Well if shes not hungry she wont eat but when she does get hungry she will eat some thing. If this is a real problem for you around supper time tell her she will not be aloud to leave the dinner table untill she at least eats some thing small. If you thinks she not going to budge take her to a doctor. Yours truly, Demika Ray

Answer #5

she is really quiet so she didn’t answer.

Answer #6

what did the 9 year old say when you asked her why she wasn’t eating?

Answer #7

My 9yr old daughter don’t eat anything just picks a bite or two at each meal. She only wants cookies or candy. I just showed her the aneroxic photos but it didn’t seem to help her. So I told her she blew it for herself that there will be no junk food in this house until she shows me she can eat healthy food regularly. She has a big mouth full of lettuce now. Im hoping this continutes to work. My next step if needed will be to toss out the candy and cookies she likes for dessert.
