What do I do if my child doesn´t eat meat?
When a Child Won't Eat Meat
If your child suddenly refuses to eat meat, it may be because he finds the meat fibres difficult to chew. To encourage meat eating, offer small, tender pieces or serve meat in pasta or as a meat loaf. Also, remember that it is not essential for your child to eat meat in order to have a healthy diet. Offer plenty of other foods that are high in protein - eggs, cheese, peanut butter, legumes, and dairy products.
