How can you get an eight year old girl to eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of the time...: ...Just let her get hungry. Children only gain 2-3 kg per year between their 2nd birthday and onset of puberty, and so don't need much food at all. If they drink milk or juice, they may not feel like they need any food at all, so letting them drink only water might be the solution.
