My 8yo DD has become very finicky with food recently. Every time I cook something she askes a zillion questions. I have to go through where I bought it, if we've had it before, do I always buy it, will she like it thing every day.

She's at the point now where she won't eat tea at all. Tonight I made chops and veg then cooked up some curly fries in the hopes that she'd eat it. I'd never made curly fries before so the questions started. She tasted them and liked them but wouldn't eat anything. I tried and tried to get her to eat. It wasn't until she asked me if she could get food poisoning from curly fries that it suddenly dawned on me that she's not eating because she's scared of gettin food poisoning again.

We had a bout of food poisoning a couple of months ago from a cooked chook I bought.

She's fine with eating breakfast and lunch but just not tea, obviously because that was the meal she got sick from. Even after tea she doesn't ask for food like most kids would if they didn't eat tea. Before the food poisoning incident she'd eat anything I dished up.

Please please please help me. What do you think I can do to help her overcome this? I need her to eat her tea!
