Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having worm infestation producing anemia resulting tiredness.
Eating of picky might be the cause and result of anemia.
Give her one course of anti-worm medicine like Albendazole.
Give her good iron syrup for 1-2 months after consulting your doctor.
Give her high nourishing diet.
Ok and take care.
