hi shreya Shreya Jani ! start afresh. to take that fear out of his mind u could avoid force feeding.. let him be.. serve him food on a dining table and let meal time be fun family time. also avoid scolding him if doenst finish food on his plate. have discussions on his fav topic and praise him when he behaves well..

yes Shikha.. but if I don't force him and wait for him to ask food.. he never demand for food.. I tried a lot.. I give him food with family and with his favourite items.. still get gets up and say doesn't want to eat.. I totally fed up

you could invite his cousins home and serve them food together or send him to their house . imitating them he might learn sooner or later.

Hello ma'am no worries about that.. you will plan for dinner altogether with family members and make different types of food ..while cooking involve him ...ask him what we will prepare ....
