PICKY EATING CHILDREN: HOW TO GUIDE PARENTS
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 13
Abstract
Children with picky eating habits draw parents to the clinic. The cause of picky eating may be owing to an underlying disease condition or may just be a passing phase in the life of the child. Except for transient nutritional deficiencies, there are no serious implications in adulthood. In view of unrealistic parental expectations on the growth and development of child, pediatricians need to counsel parents and provide guidelines for managing picky eating habits in children. Although the picky eating habits would not disappear overnight, a constant and persuasive attempt by employing a generalized approach discussed in this review would prove to be effective. The pediatricians can improvise their doctor-patient rapport by providing a practical guideline to parents, instead of dismissing the condition as normal.
