Course Abstract

Pediatric problem eating can lead to stressful mealtime environments for an entire family. Families tend to have significant difficulties improving the eating habits of their children without intervention. The focus of feeding therapy with problem eaters is to improve the relationship between the parent and child around the mealtime.
