Do you think your child is a “picky-eater”?
Does your child----
v only eat only a few foods? (such as chicken nuggets from McDonald’s)
v refuse food groups
v get upset when a new food is placed on his/her plate
v gag or spit out food during meals?
v fall into low percentiles for weight?
These are all signs that your child could have a feeding or eating problem. Feeding and eating are important components to growing up healthy. Mealtime should be a social occasion—not battles to have your child try a new food.
A speech therapist and occupational therapist can assist in evaluating and treating a child with feeding, eating or swallowing difficulties.
