My son is not eating properly. He is 6 years old. He doesnt finish his food at home. He brings his dabba back. But when he is hungry, he is always craving for snack, packaged food and sugary items. He is influenced by his friends in the building and kids at school who bring chips and kurkure as bus tiffin. How do I make him understand?

Hi mam. What to do when child dont eat hus tiffin. And remains hungry in class he us i year old

Hi Dr Aarti, I had written earlier about my 2 year old son regarding his screaming which has now subsided so thanks for the advice then. Over the last year my son's not gained any weight and this largely has been contributed by his habit of NOT eating. We'v tried different tips and tricks but they don't seem to work anymore and we have to subject to the TV at times for meal times only. However lately TV or No TV he just isn't interested in eating anymore. Although we've tried a variety of items from sweet to savory to traditional home made food, he's moody and generally dismissive of anything presented to him (apart from French Toast at times). I do understand as he gets older and more conscious this won't be a problem but for now how do we as parents tackle this to ensure he's invested in eating?

My 13 YO is addicted to junk food. He weighs 64 kg and is borderline obese. He used to be good at sports but now that he goes to tuition and extra classes there is no time for exercise. He doesn't eat his tiffin but saves his pocket money to buy chips and order junk food on his way home or when he steps out of the house. If we don't give him pocket money, he still manages to get it through his friends. How can we stop these habits? I am really worried about his health

We have a 9 year old son. He doesn't like to try new food. He has been having the same dal rice for the past 5 years, but he doesn't like anything else. We have tried all means to introduce him to new types of food and cuisine. In school his tiffin menu is also fixed. He only likes peanut butter in sandwich or roti. How do I introduce new foods without forcing him?

My son is addicted to sweets, chocolates and junk. When he is at home, he wants something to eat every hour. Can you recommend some diet tips to break his habit?
