Her weight is at 25th percentile and her height is at 95th percentile for her age which indicates she is normal. It is frustrating when your child will only eat a small range of food. Unfortunately, one of the first foods they stop eating are fruits and vegetables. Introduce fruit in initiative ways, such as, blended fresh strawberries and / or bananas with yogurt to make a smoothie or with ice cream to make a milkshake. Vegetables can be added to the smoothies / milkshakes, too. Sometimes children will eat food they normally do not like when combined with foods they like, for example, peanut butter sandwich with apples or bananas on it. Engage your daughter with preparation of food. Have her help you set the table or do something for the meal. Children love to be involved preparing their food and it may help them to eat different foods. Try not to get upset if she refuses them. Remember to relax at meals and just give her the foods she wants. Slowly introduce new foods. Sometimes it takes 5-9 times to introduce a food to a child that they will accept, however, if they do not want it you have to not make a fuss and let it go. Hoped this helped you.

the more your child refuses the food the more you want to try and get them to eat...it's a vicious cycle, why? because all that's happening is that they are learning to hate food. then because they don't eat you want to give them the things that will eat.

try to feed your child every day at the same time. If she refuse the food, do not insist on making her eat or give her a snack. wait till the next time that she has to eat and give her again the food you prepared for her.
It's possible she won't evewn take it then, do not despair, it will work if you are patient and firm to your intent, your efforts will pay off. reward with treats after she has eaten the food you've prepared.
p.s. do not insist force more thant she can handle, increase by a little daily remember she is coming from eating little...also make sure the treats are small.
n/b a child will not intentionally starve itself
