Is he sick?: Sometimes children go through phases where they do not eat well/ become picky eaters. If he is recuperating from any illness/ starting to fall sick chances of him not eating well are more. If he is well- relax and do not push him, his appetite will pick up, if he is falling sick, talk to his doc.
