Father of a 8 yr 1 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

#AskTheExpert Hello Doctor, my son is very lean and not eating properly. He doesn't eat any fruits other than Bananas. He hates drinking milk also (tried with all powders line Horlicks, Boost, Complan etc.). He eats only 1-2 small pieces of chicken OR only one egg per day. Please suggest.

A. hii.. Never force feed child. Child will eat as much as he/she wants. Not how much we think. Children learn from elders, when family sits for eating ask him to sit. Make him temp to the food u eat. Like I use to tell my son if u eat different colours (daal-yellow, veggies - green, roti - white etc) of food u will b so strong like hulk (Cartoon character) And after he finishes his food we act like he got full power, and even by his small punch we act like we collapse🤪 And this way we keep him motivated to eat nutritious food.
