"But I am not hungry"

Re: "But I am not hungry"

Its a common problem and yes as there are a lot of chices available here unlike back home . Also desi kids are mire likely to be smaller in stature than their counterparts so they need less. My kids are the same too. My eldest is the pickest. Its not that he doesn't want anything but he wants junk and desi, mac and cheese etc. How I dealt with it wasto organize mock competitions between him and his younger sister (she eats veggies) and if she "won" he would be livid and force himself to eat the same food. Now most days he will eat curry and roti with much less fuss than before and might even try veggies. I would give small dollar store toys as prizes.
