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 over 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, and don't offer any other food. Let them realize that if they don't eat when it's time to eat, they won't have anything to eat even when they're hungry. A day or two of hunger won't harm them. Next time, they will understand that they need to finish their meal before they can play, or else they will get hungry again. It mainly depends on the parents, as many are too soft-hearted to follow through.
