Patient's question:
My child doesn't like to eat. It's because someone feeds him a little and someone else feeds him a little, and he plays while eating. As a result, sometimes he can hold a mouthful of food in his mouth for more than ten minutes without swallowing it. So we are all very worried about him.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the current description of the situation, it is recommended to correct the child's eating habits promptly. They should focus more on eating when it's time to eat, and rewards or criticism can be used when necessary. First, don't give in; let them go hungry, but don't give them any other food. Let them realize that if they don't eat when it's time to eat, they will still go hungry and won't get anything. It's okay to let them go hungry for a day or two. Next time, they will know that they need to finish eating before they can play, or else they will go hungry again. It mainly depends on the parents, as many parents are too soft-hearted to follow through.
