Answer 1

More than likely, she's doing this simply because she's 4 and she can.  Most pediatricians aren't at all alarmed by this until the child starts losing weight, becomes lethargic, vomiting, has constipation, etc.  If she is generally happy and active, she's probably not eating because there is entirely too much to do and the last thing that appeals to her is to sit down long enough for a meal.  

Healthy children that are given nutritious food in manageable portions will not starve themselves.....so just give it some time and patience and she'll come around....
