Busy!!: 5 year olds are very busy people. They are constantly in motion and may require more calories for their size than older kids or adults. They go through growth spurts for a while, and, at other times, eat very little. Make sure she is eating healthy snacks and meals. Make sure she isn't eating out of boredom, or for emotional reasons. If you are still worried, have her checked by her doctor.
