text: my daughter doesnt want to eat anything what do i do? my daughter doesnt eat anything i am afraid she doesn't get enough protein. she is also very active and at the age of 5 weights 30 pounds! if she loses any more weight or refuses to eat go to the doctors, there could be something seriously wrong with her.  you’re her mother, and i'm not saying force feeding her will work but your daughter not eating could just be her trying to manipulate you, so she just might need to be disciplined.  show her that she needs to eat and that this is a serious matter, and be sure to explain this to her in words she will understand.
