When caring for children with anorexia, many parents have tried the method of starving their children to see if they will ask for food and eat better. However, the reality shows that children do not ask for food even though they are starved all day, children do not eat and only drink water, making parents feel sorry for their children. So why do children eat less but are not hungry?

“Is it good to force children to eat a lot?” is a concern of parents. However, this action causes some consequences for children, such as fear of mealtimes, overweight or obesity or even anorexia. Therefore, instead of forcing children to eat, parents should prepare a diverse menu, full of nutrients and let children eat what they want.
