Just a word of advise for parents with children ages 2-6!!! This is breaking news to me! I just read that "Appetite decreases between ages 2 and 6 because, compared with infants, young children need far fewer calories per pound of body weight. This is especially true for children today, who play outdoors less than their parents or grandparents did. However, instead of appreciating this natural change in appetite, many parents fret, threaten and cajole their children into eating more than they should ("Eat all your dinner and you can have ice cream." Isnt that crazy? I've experiences this twice with kids not eating!!! and G is the worst eater ever. She pigged out until around the age 2.... now she hardly eats. So there ya go! Don't fret if your kid don't eat, its natural!
