Any advice on getting a 2 year old to eat?

I’m sure it’s a pretty normal occurrence but it’s a fight trying to get our 2 year old girl to eat. She’s not a picky eater, she just doesn’t ever want to eat. I know you can’t really force a 2 year old to eat, but she’ll eat like one or two bites of food and be done.
I’m kind of the same way, I’ve never had a big appetite; so I guess she gets that from me.
We try to be good about limiting distractions when it’s meal time but that’s not working. I know you can’t force em to eat, but I mean dang, she needs to eat!

She will eat if she is hungry.

Don't worry unless she stops growing/starts losing weight.

It’s a stage. Mine does the same. Give them ultimatums.

Train her like you would a dog. You eat when it’s feeding time, otherwise you have to wait until the next feeding time. She gets hungry enough and she’ll start eating

Just like aguga said - she will eat when she gets hungry

Is she still doing bottles too?

My 18 mo old is a vacuum. I would focus more on providing well rounded healthy meals. That's where we struggle- incorporating vegetables.

Let her starve. Who is in charge? She will eat when hungry, otherwise, let her starve. I bet water is her friend.

How much is she snacking? I find that limiting snacks helps. Also let her run around outside and work up an appetite!

No toddler ever committed suicide via starvation. Don’t sweat it and they will eat when they are hungry enough. This is stage 1 of the next 16 years of boundary testing.

When she gets hungry enough, the little fricker will eat. She isn't going to starve herself to death.

It is normal. But try these

1) It’s about control. Instead of giving her food and begging her to eat, put 2 things in front of her and ask if she would prefer one or the other. Peas or carrots? Chicken or peas?
2) If she gets hungry enough, she will eat.

Dealt with this. Doctor prescribed pediasure.

But I'd definitely say at that age, you'll have MUCH more success using a reward system than a punishment system. Don't take something away, giver her something she likes if she does good
