My 9 yesr old daugter eats a vry small portion of food evry meal ...she looks so skinny ...and l am so worried...

No worries: Some people are very thin and lean and some eat only small amounts but also eat frequently. If she is growing on her growth curve and developing normally then no worries. If you are worried- you can see your pediatrician and i suggest a chinese medicine evaluation as it can be very enlightening on how to balance her system and her diet. I have great success with chinese medicine practitioners.
