But in actual the food is not spicy. his age is 10 years, weight around 22 kg. can you help me.
Hello I have gone through your question and your concern. This all happens because fussy eating is part of children’s development. It’s a way of exploring their environment and asserting their independence. And it’s also because their appetites go up and down depending on how much they’re growing and how active they are. The good news is that children are likely to get less fussy as they get older. One day your child will probably eat and enjoy a whole range of different foods.Try inloving your child in helping you out with cooking, so that the child participates in actuvity involved with food, give a fresh fruit or a glass of homemade fresh juice daily, a boiled egg daily. Try making food more vibrant and fun to eat. Life is too exciting for children sometimes, and they’re too busy exploring the world around them to spend time eating. Children learn by testing the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. They can be very strong willed when it comes to making decisions about food (to eat or not to eat, and what to eat). It’s all part of their social, intellectual and emotional development.
