Eating issues

[runikka]

Our almost six year old daughter is hardly eating and we do not know what is wrong. She has always been a slow eater, not brilliant with hot meals (always needing them to cool down) but just recently even "junk" food is being turned down. She says she is full and seems to find eating a chore. Is this normal?

How much is she drinking throughout the day?

Not a great deal. We try to encourage her but she doesn't drink enough.

Make a food diary for a week and write down absolutely everything no matter how insignificant even to the extent of single mouthfuls including drinks, what does she eat at school? Does peer pressure make any difference?
