Has anyone got experience with young kids (eg 7 yo female) with systematically and long term low appetite and potential solutions.

My daughter was always small but now dropping further ie dropping from 5th percentile to 1st. We provide her a lot of food choices and options. If we gave her unlimited candy she would eat more but we try giving her what she likes within reason but she will regularly eat no dinner, half eat lunch and ultimately very few calories. Anyone had similar and have ideas?

If they don’t eat much just give them a multi vitamins may take some time. Keep trying different foods they may like. Just don’t punish them for not eating

That's really low. What does her pediatrician recommend? They may have you contact a pediatric nutritionist.

My daughter is 8 y/o and just like this. Soooo hard to get her to eat. Reward, punishment, nothing seems to help. ~1 percentile weight. Thin and lanky.

She also has problems with chronic constipation. We have seen many specialists but still have no answers. It's very, very stressful so I highly empathize with you OP. She's not unhappy or anything though and is developmentally fine other than what I've mentioned. Hopefully these are stages they'll grow out of...

Wish I had a helpful answer but just replying in solidarity!

No personal experience here so totally just spitballing a couple ideas if it’s helpful.

Have you tried smoothies? Can sneak in things like avocado or coconut milk that are high cal plus get lots of nutrients in. Maybe if your daughter like pink, get some frozen pink dragonfruit (Costco) to make it more fun. Also of the age where she could make that herself.

Does she like pasta at all? Homemade ricotta gnocchi is very easy and high calorie. Maybe she’d eat it if she was part of the process. I make this weekly with my toddler since she is so dang picky but will eat this since she made it.

Her doctor is starting to express some concern on weight although no fire alarms yet. On food options we haven’t done all of the exact things mentioned but we are a very food oriented family and provide a lot of options including things she likes. Challenge is more appetite than willingness to eat particular foods. She just doesn’t get hungry so anything that’s less appealing than cake can be unappealing to her.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
