Why does my child say they are hungry and then not eat?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
It’s pretty common for kids to say they’re hungry and then lose interest once food shows up. Their hunger can shift quickly, or they may have been hoping for a different food—or even a bit of attention. What can help: offer small portions to start, stick to predictable meal and snack times, and stay calm without pressuring them to eat.
