Question
What should I do if my 8-year-old child still won’t eat vegetables?
Answer
If a child refuses to eat greens, it can result in a deficiency of trace elements within the body. If there is a deficiency, such as zinc or iron, it can lead to a loss of appetite. It’s necessary to have a test for trace elements to check for deficiencies in zinc and iron. If there is a deficiency, it should be promptly addressed. The child also needs to regulate their spleen and stomach. Every day, you should massage your child’s abdomen and pinch their spine. If time permits, you can also consider hospital-based acupuncture. This way, the child’s recovery can be quicker.
