Answer 2

Depending on the age of the child, a child can stop eating because of medical condition which most times the child can't say. You need to see a doctor in such case. But if a child lacks appetite, you can entice him/her with a promise of a gift or visiting his/her favorite park. For example 'Hey John if you can finish your food, mummy will buy you your favorite snack or mummy will take you out to see'
