Micaiah needs to eat more.

Micaiah's ribs are showing. Micaiah's not much of an eater. We are lucky if he eats 2 tablespoons of each item on the table in a 2 hour period. Wise people, including Micaiah's Doctor say that when Micaiah is hungry, Micaiah will eat. Wise people are wrong. Wise Mama needs new plans to make Micaiah eat.

Hmmm....just give him lots and lots and lots of CANDY. Bet he'll eat it. (I never said I was wise.,....)

I generally don't worry too much (I have skinny kids and a relaxed doctor too,) but when I really want them to eat, I use rewards. eg. You can't play outside (play computer, play _____) until you've eaten half a sandwich and a banana (or whatever is appropriate.) They usually choose to eat something.
