Re: Please Help-4yr old little girl-AFRAID of FOOD

i think you should post this question on the Ask Barefoot forum..."worms" may be her way of articulating something that is otherwise un-nameable. Personally, I would not worry too much if she only wants to drink (I'd make her fresh fruit juice--organic, if possible). And as for her not eating "dessert"--great!!! Perhaps she will grow up to be breatharian!
But this surely is some kind of important phase, and even though she is four, she may well know something that you don't.

I think that's what ohfor07 was trying to express. If forcing her to eat something she says "tastes like worms" makes her ill--then it makes her ill. You have to honour her experience as being *true* for her. (I'm sure you want to) You might try to look at it this way...

So much of what she isn't eating isn't really as great as we all imagine anyway. Yes-Even vegetables. Consider that even the standard gorgeous looking vegetables have been (mostly) tampered with..many have had animal genes spliced into them! I've eaten tomatoes and lemons that I'm sure were part 'animal'. Your daughter sounds extremely sensitive...and that's a gift of sorts.  Also, all this stress around food (which you must be feeling) does not contribute to it being something she'll want participate in. Chocolate eggs surrounding one pea sounds like it enters into weird territory...no judgement intended, but it sounds too intense. And anyway, why chocolate? I know you have done many good things to try to help her to be more 'normal' in her way of being, but it might be wise to consider that what you have believed to be 'best' might not actually be best...maybe it is a lot more simple than you've been aware of. Just a thought.

About the desire not to grow up...well, that sounds either other-life-related or like the response to some sort of traumatic incident. ( I remember my sister saying "I'm never going to be a teenager!" And that was partly just reaction to what she saw around her, and partly just her way of 'disappearing' from our home life) Did you say she was in daycare? Could something have happened that showed her 'big girl' stuff? Even TV is enough to do that...and maybe trigger something that is in her consciousness. (Unless you believe that we only "live once"), remember she has been older than you are now, and other lives can have an effect in the now.


But here--Take a look in at the Qigong forum for the Yuen Method, and Dr Sha..and maybe read those posts, and the links--Dr Sha offers free 'remote' sessions. There is one coming up on Tuesday--perhaps whatever blockage might be affecting your daughter (perhaps at the soul or karmic level) can be dissolved. See if that resonates with you. Something is going on--and maybe that sort of 'healing' would help the situation. Also maybe look at EFT. (emotional freedom technique)

honestly though, I don't think a good course of apples will hurt her at this point. We worry way too much about food--when it's really something else ( something far Greater ) that keeps us alive. I knew a child who at three and four would only eat "white" food...that usually meant plain wheat pasta. (yuck) with nothing on it. Looking back, I can see it was partly reaction to her surroundings, which were emotionally chaotic. But she lived!

If she only wants bread and apples--make it the very best bread, the best apples you can, and offer it with the knowledge that it can be filled with goodness and love. --and it will be. Have faith!

best wishes
