2. The absence of a favourite food

One possible reason for lack of appetite is when the child’s favourite food is not in the fridge and the child refuses to eat anything else. This is a common problem. Allowing the child to have a favourite food is how their actual feeling of hunger and the feeling of longing for a specific food get all mixed up in the child’s mind. The child will then eat his or her favourite food even when he or she is not hungry and has no need for more energy.
