Growth deficiency 5y: You cannot really force a child to eat. All you can do is have the child checked to see if there is some abnormality that is reducing her appetite. Appetite goes randomly up and down with various ages. Poor appetite is only a medical concern if the growth rate is not keeping up with norms for age. Check to see if her growth is ok at http://pediatrics.About.Com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_kids_centils.Htm.
