A. Hello dear parent! Kids showing interest in eating in edible things around often indicates vitamin deficiency. Get your child personally examined by your doctor and seek further advice. Follow your doctor’s instructions diligently. Include all food groups in your child’s diet that is staple in your family. Good luck and take care.
