Common Reasons for Food Refusal
Need for Autonomy: At 5 years old, children want to feel in control. Refusing food is one of the few ways they can assert independence.
Distraction: School-aged children are often more interested in playing or talking than focusing on the mechanics of eating.
Sensory Issues: Some children are sensitive to the texture of certain foods (like the dryness of roti or the sliminess of some fruits).
Small Appetite: A child’s stomach is roughly the size of their fist. If she is having juice or milk between meals, she may simply not be hungry.
If she refuses, don\'t force her. Simply take the plate away after 20–30 minutes without anger.
2. Stop the \"Grazing\"
Ensure there are at least 3 hours between meals/snacks where she only drinks water. If she drinks a lot of milk or juice throughout the day, she will never feel the \"true hunger\" needed to finish a meal.
When to Consult a Pediatrician
While this is usually behavioral, you should seek professional medical advice if:
She is losing weight or not gaining height.
She seems constantly tired or lethargic (which could indicate anemia).
She has pain while swallowing or frequent stomach aches.
She is strictly limiting herself to only 1 or 2 types of food.
