Some children learn from a young age that through food they can keep control over their parents, and if most of the daily activities around the child are reduced to the problem of nutrition, then the whole family turns in a vicious circle and eating becomes the main source of anxiety for parents.
From the time he is a baby, through giving food to the child, we also show our attitude towards his temperament, demands, ways of accepting and giving. Hence, a nutritional problem is often not just about food, but about much more than that.
Thus, some children learn from a young age that they can control their parents through food, and if most of the daily activities around the child are reduced to the problem of nutrition, then the whole family turns in a vicious circle and eating becomes the main source of anxiety for parents. At the same time, other important things such as independence, sleep, mood and communication with the environment are often neglected.
Because of all this, it is important that parents know these facts and find out independently or with professional help what the eating problem actually is, especially if it grows into something big and at first glance intractable. But most of the time it is basically just the child’s need for more attention from the parents.
