    I wish that this article described the spectrum of picky eating a bit better. Those of us in the field of helping kids with selective eating know kids who will starve, and no amount of cooking and waiting it out will prevent that except professional intervention. Our job is to get them to a place where DOR will work for them. Thanks for sharing this article here Krisi, it’s a wonderful start to an important conversation.

    I agree with Melanie. I feel like the article only scratches the surface of the spectrum of feeding disorders. For the vast majority of kids we see, the feeding issues go way beyond being “picky.” I disagree with Dr. Muth’s statement, “A hungry child will eventually eat.” I just started seeing a preschooler who is on a milk and puree diet. She has very significant oral sensorimotor deficits – super sensory and no functional movement of tongue for eating solids. Her feeding skills are below a 6m old level. If liquids and purees were removed and she was required to eat solids (even though she doesn’t have the requisite skills to do so), she would starve. The process of helping these kiddos with restrictive eating is slow going beginning with building trust, normalizing sensory responses, building oral motor skills, and creating positive and playful experiences with food.
