Great article.This is the first part of a two-part series discussing the frequently encountered issue of picky eating in young children. This article emphasizes recognition and assessment of these children; the next article will focus on management.

 

From article:

Typical picky eating usually involves the following:

  • Often starts around age 15-18 months
  • Usually resolves by about age 5 years
  • Child has favorite foods but can make do with other options
  • Child is upset if not getting a favored food; may whine or fuss briefly
  • Preference for carbohydrates

“Extreme” picky eating is more likely with these characteristics:

  • Beginning with the introduction of solids or earlier
  • Often associated with medical, anatomic, or developmental challenges
  • Child may be inordinately fearful or anxious around new foods
  • Child prefers carbohydrates and may avoid entire food groups, most often vegetables and meats
  • Associated with sensory processing diagnoses, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or autism spectrum disorders
  • More likely to involve deficiencies of nutrients (such as iron), but growth may be normal
