other then waiting until their teenage years? I'm sure their appetite will increase on it's own when they are fully recovered. However make each meal they eat count, as in make sure it is not junk food and has a lot of nutrients in it. Good Luck

Make them foods that they like if health - grilled cheese, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, waffles and syrup.

One thing you can try is to get them a small really pretty plate that suits their personality. And give small portions on it. You can always give seconds. Light candles. Ornate little glasses.
Small children are intimidated by big plates heaped with food. They do not respond well to being prompted and enticed and hounded about eating either.
You can give them a small ice cream cone before they go to bed. A small one. Do NOT give them soda pop. Provide milk, water, or unsweetened juice only but do not allow them to fill up on fluids.

You can also try nutritional supplement drinks that are made for children. It's not a long term solution, but will help while they are ill.
