Hi my daughter 8 years old but she is not eat...

We would like to inform you that Normal weight at the age of 8 years:

The normal weight at the age of 8 years is 25 kg and length 127 cm.

The concept of thinness in childhood is often mixed with the concept of developmental delay or small body size

The difference between the two cases is that thinness is a state of imbalance between weight and height so that the height is suitable for the age, but the weight is not commensurate with it and is nutritionally treated through a certain diet,

 Delayed growth is a condition that reflects the fact that the child's weight and height are not suitable for his or her age and indicate a younger age, which should be presented to the specialist.

We must be provided with the weight and length of the child to assess it nutritionally and determine the condition accurately.

With regard to appetite, it is generally volatile in children and the period of child abstinence must be determined as the period if it exceeds 10 days may indicate a health problem.

How to overcome childhood anorexia

-First, make sure that the child does not suffer from a problem in the digestive system, such as intestinal worms, stomach germs, malabsorption, gall bladder, and this is done by presenting him to the internal medicine specialist.

-Perform tests for the child for blood, iron, growth hormone, and vitamin B12 and show them to the doctor.

-Provide the child with 6 meals daily, at a rate of one meal every 3 hours, which consists of three main meals and three snacks, the last of which is a snack before bed, for example, a cup of full-fat milk with a banana and natural honey.

- The variety of meals must be preserved by serving the meal in the form of a single divided dish containing varieties of meat, starches, vegetables, milk, and its derivatives, while the fruit is served in the form of homemade fresh juice or snacks such as fruit salad.

-Honey, banana, and thyme are considered appetizing, so we recommend them.

You can divide one meal into many meals so that the child eats a small amount of the dish and then repeats it in stages.

-Prevent the child from empty crisps of nutrients such as chips and others or limit the quantity to a small amount and not open according to the child's choices.

-Prevent your child from any food before the main meal such as lunch to feeling hungry.

Ask your child to help prepare, serve or even shop so that the baby is motivated to eat and desire it.

-Don't make food time a bad time for a child to insist on, but encourage him and mention its benefits.
