Thanks Arianwen - I tried to put them on the stew (like the adults) to get them to eat = nothing. I tried to put them in the center of the fire so they would "slide into the stew pot" LOL and that didn't work.

I tried everything I could think of - and Everyone would eat the stew BUT the children - ALL the children - not just one of them.

Strange - I was able to save them but they didn't get Really Healthy until they reached "adulthood" or old enough to work.
