how do you feed a child with loss of appetite for food?

make food fun, let a child make a pizza choose their own ingredients pay for them theirself carry the shopping basket,and so on.
they can help you bake and decorate small cakes,
i used to be a nursery nurse and the kids loved to ice biscuits, rich tea, icing and glace cherries for eyes choc button for nose, strawberry licqurice laces for mouth, or just let them loose with the icing and sprinkles, make their own fruit kebabs, milk shakes and smoothies there is no end of things that a child can do and they do enjoy making it themselves

good ideas. What if they won't eat anything? That's a problem

i garantee a child will eat some if not all of something that they have made, un less of course he/she is unwell. goodluck

thanks the children I am working with can be quite agressive!!

have the children you work with got behavioural problems then, if so its better to only work at a cooking activity 2 at a time

I would say some of them do. Screaming is all I hear. Some children are okay to work with, but others just scream if they don't agree with something.
