Help getting a 7 year old to eat!

My 7 year old daughter has not eaten for 5 days.  She has been medically checked out including blood tests which have come back clear.  She is drinking.  Her energy level has dropped and she is tired and yawning alot of the day.  It may be an emotional response to something maybe?? Not that I can pin point what that may be.

Any suggestions of where or what I should explore next?

Try feeding her, her favourite foods? i know it might be drastic, try candy or mc donalds. At least it's something.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

You are letting this turn into a major drama complete with a possible power struggle.

The more you try to force, beg, plead, order or cajole her to eat; the less likely she is to do so.

If there is nothing medically wrong, then I suggest you stop making a big deal out of it. Fix the meals you would ordinarily fix. When it is time to eat, she should sit at the table with everyone else. If she chooses not to eat, she can sit there until the meal is over.

Then she can choose whether or not she wishes to partake when it's time for the next meal. Don't fix her something separate or offer snacks.

Unless there is a medical cause, she will most likely eat when she's hungry - especially if there is no longer any dramatic attention attached to the whole thing.
