 I just don't know what to do. My son is only 2and a half and very skinny. His weight seems fine for his age (I\";ve checked it on a few weight charts) but alot of people are commenting on him looking thin. I can see it myself. Myself and my husband do our very best to get him to eat good food but it's hopeless. He will actually get sick if he has to eat something he doesn't like. He eats spegetti, sausages, ceareal etc. He'd gag if I tried to give him vegetables even so I still try him every single day. He's a very clever child. He can count and write his name and everything and sings songs and stuf, so his brain is perfect! (Thank God) . He's very happy. The only issue is the not eating enough. What can I do. He's too skinny. What can I do to put a bit of colour into his face!!!

Also I'm sick of people saying to me \";Would you not feed him a bit more\";. If another person comments on my sons weight I'll crack up. You'd think I wasn't feeding him!!!! Or I don't care about my own son.

Please please help. I feel like a very bad mother.....

Since your child likes spaghetti- I would suggest mashing up veg such as carrots, zucchinis, even aubergines in the tomato sauce you use. Most kids can't tell it's in there.

I was here to do some research on my MBA project, but I could not resist responding to your quote.

Let me assure you that if the child is playful and eats what he likes when he is hungry, there should not be much to worry about. Its amazing how kids have a system which helps them choose the right amount of food for them.

I do not wish to trivialize your concern and I would definitely seek another opinion from a pediatrician and see if he/ she would prescribe something to increase food intake. But, nothing that would keep me awake.

Good luck!

Weight Concerns
I would like to go with Ayanna’s suggestion. It is logical and it will be easily accepted by kids. My daughter is 2 years now and planned to use the same, if in case needed.

Healthy food
You have mentioned that doctor said your kid is normal. So don’t worry about your kid’s health. Just provide him the nutritious as well as healthy foods. Give him fruits or even fruit juices. Try different dishes every day and don’t make him bore with the regular menus.

Weight concerns
It is really shocking to hear that a 5 year old kid is conscious about her dark skin. Sit with your kid and make her understand that colour does not determine anything also it is not important for a life. Children can be easily changed by saying useful things in a correct way. So, take time and make her understand the necessity things in life are lot more than a skin colou... - Vishesh Shrivstava [View Message]

Idea to Gain Weight
The weight seems fine to me! Mine weighed arnd 13.5 kgs when she was 3. Always try giving vegetables and fruits in an attractive bowls or in which your child likes. Try adding vegetables in your kid’s favourite dish! Cook dishes with attractive colors for which you can add different color vegetables. Also, try themes for lunches and dinnners - makes it more fun and inter... - Varsha Tyagi [View Message]
Complexion
OMG really, please show her photos of Tyra Banks Bipasha Bassu and also other dark skinned beauties. Teach her that skin colour is only for the surface and that she must study hard and be a good person. Tell her the skin fairness creams do not work. sit down and ask her where she is hearing all this nonsense. Be patient and explain to her that half the population of USA is... - Geetu [View Message]
ur son
Take him to the bathroom and make sure he washes his hands then make him spread his towel close the toothpaste cap etc but do it together. Make it like time together. When you sit to together talk about good behavior and how important it is . Instill it in him. Dont yell at. reward him for good behaviour only. But dont take away tv because he has not done it. Try this if..... - Sona [View Message]
