Honestly, I dont think you can convince him to eat! He sounds like he is still sick, and while it is possible that it is in his head, I would doubt it. Kids that age dont tend to think like that..they eat when they are hungry, and dont eat when they are not. I would offer him small, simple things, but trying to make him eat will only back fire. Will he eat crackers, or soup? They have thermoses you can use for soup, but really, if he is that sickly looking, I would not send him to school any more. Let him rest, and maybe that will help! Good luck ~A.~
