[canada] RE: Katy

[Dakota McFly]

Here's a thought...maybe she doesn't want to eat because she doesn't want to throw it up? Throwing up can be painful if you haven't chewed your food very well, or if it's shortly after eating 'scratchy' food.  Maybe if she had only soft foods in the morning, if she did throw up it wouldn't be as uncomfoatable & she'd at least be eating something while you work on the cause of the throwing up part?  It might help if you told her why she was eating soft food too, so it would make the anticipation of throwing up less severe, and maybe lower her stress level a bit?

The "How to talk so your kids will listen (etc.)"  book  is a really good one for reading in short little snippets - it's written for harried parents who don't have a lot of reading time.  You can pretty much pick it up anywhere & start reading, although it's good read in order, too.  It is also abailable on an audiocassette, check your local library (they might have the book too, if you would rather borriw it than buy it).  And it has an index, if you just want to look up specific Q's.  Their next book is reallly good too, "Sibings Without Rivalry".
