Dear Patient,

It must be difficult for you to manage this. You could try to make the food interesting, rice can be given in the form of fried rice, mixed in noodles, pulaos etc. For roti, you could try giving it to her as rolls or mixing with honey & give. You could also feed her from your plate when you eat. If this isnt working you can use the daily nutrient requirement of kids and give her combination of starch, proteins, fats. When kids don't listen and we force them there is a vicious cycle of anger and frustration. Sometimes its best to let it be and let kids come around

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/child-specialist
