What can I do about my little sister Danielle?

Ok, so my little 7 year old sister, Danielle, is usually a happy, energetic, talkative little girl. But for about a week now, she has been very quiet, not wanting to do anything, looking sad all day, and not eating good at all (she will take like two bites of her food and then be like, "Mommy, I'm not hungry.") I have a feeling that somewhere deep inside, she is really sad or upset about something. But she says nothing is wrong. We (my family) have all asked her if there was something wrong. She says there is nothing wrong, but I think there is. What can I do? It's really making me worried, and Danielle won't tell anyone what is wrong.

For those of you who pray, even if you don't have any advice about what I can do, can you please pray for my little sister? Thanks

umm..thats very odd...id hate to think of the worst that may have happened to her..but maybe another kid her age said or did something mean to her.

i would take her somewhere you know she would love to go. maybe get some ice cream for her and just make an effort to spend the whole day with her. she is ashamed of what happened and if you gain her trust, she will tell you what it wrong. as long as you make her happy throughout the day, you can sit her down and talk to her. tell her you love her and that you know that she is sad. you want to help her and the only way you can do that is if she tells you what happened. tell her that you will keep it a secret from the rest of the family (and do so unless its REALLY bad).
try not to push her too much to come out with it. if she doesnt want to tell you, ask her if she will tell you when she is ready. then give her a big hug and tell her you love her and that you just want to help.
she will probably say something later on if you do this.

I'm sorry to hear that but she could need some time alone...
or something could of really scared her and messed her brain up and you need to tell her you will always be there for her no matter what and she can say anything and you will stand by her and trust you. Because the things you are saying does not sound normal at all and if that doesn't work and very concerned then it time to see a siciotrist or Dr.Phil XD lol jk about that part but seriously hope it works

There had to have been some event or something that happened that upset your sister, maybe if you think back to the day she started acting sad, you can figure out what's made her so blue- and help her better.
I'll be praying (;

It's only been a week so maybe she's just a little tired or stressed. She could also be suffering from a minor illness that makes her feel sluggish.

That said, you guys should tell her that you are interested in listening if she feels like talking. Then drop it.

Have you talked to your family about taking her to a children's therapist? They can be really helpful. Try making her favortite meals and doing things she likes to do. That could help a little and make sure she knows shes loved.

I will pray for you and your sister. :)

Answer my friends please?
