Feeding Picky Eaters: Mealtime Strategies, Picky Eater Causes, and More
Why some children are picky eaters and what to do about it.
Many preschoolers are picky eaters. They usually outgrow it by age 4 or 5. So, what are the best ways to get them to eat until then?
"Let them choose the clothes they wear, not the foods they eat," says Atlanta-based pediatrician Jennifer Shu, MD, co-author of Food Fights . "Kids get so used to mac and cheese, they forget that asparagus isn't so bad."
It helps to know some of the top reasons why they're so picky.
"Picky habits start when children test their limits, around age 2," Shu says. "Parents don't like rejection. They hear 'no' once or twice, they don't go back to that food."
But many preschoolers need to be offered new foods several times before they taste them. Serving a new food among five or six familiar choices can take the pressure off, says Boston pediatric nutritionist Linda Piette, RD, author of Just Two More Bites!
Some kids may still be mastering how to chew and swallow. Some may be inexperienced chewers.
"Many prefer meltable, crunchy carbohydrates because they're easy to eat and have a single texture," says pediatric psychologist Kay Toomey, PhD, of Greenwood Village, Colo.
Other possibilities include large tonsils, which can get in the way, or, in rare cases, a neurological condition like sensory processing disorder (SPD), which makes them more sensitive to how foods sound, smell, or taste.
Show your child what to do. "Banging a carrot on the table and talking about how hard it is teaches that the teeth will need to use pressure to break it apart," Toomey says, "versus yogurt, which is wet and smooth and can be just sucked down."
Your child might be full from eating too many beverages or snacks.
"Kids carry around portable snack containers and boxes of juice, then they're not hungry for anything later," Shu says.
Her advice: Serve fewer, healthier snacks. "If the child didn't finish lunch, give those leftover peas or carrots for a snack instead of pretzels or cookies."
If people are arguing at the table, your child may just want to get out of there.
"Kids may try to make mealtime shorter," Shu says. "Alternately, they may try to get more attention by not eating, if they think enough attention isn't coming their way."
Sunshine Linked to Lower Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk: Study
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, Feb. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Older women who've had regular exposure to sunlight may be less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, new findings indicate.
This beneficial effect -- which is believed to be due to ultraviolet B (UV-B) in sunlight -- was only evident in older women. This may be because younger women are more aware of the skin-related hazards of sunlight and take more steps to limit their exposure, the researchers said.
For the study, the investigators looked at about 235,000 participants who took part in two phases of the U.S. Nurses' Health Study. The first phase began in 1976 with nurses aged 30 to 55 and continued until 2008. The second phase began in 1989 with nurses aged 25 to 42 and continued until 2009.
By the end of the two phases, 1,314 of the women had developed rheumatoid arthritis, according to the study published in the current online edition of the journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
The nurses' UV-B exposure was estimated based on data from the states where they lived while taking part in the study. Likely estimates of their UV-B exposure at birth and by age 15 were also included.
Among women in the first phase of the Nurses' Health Study, those with the highest estimated levels of UV-B exposure were 21 percent less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than those with the lowest levels.
However, no such association between UV-B exposure and rheumatoid arthritis risk was seen among women in the second phase. These women were younger than those in the first phase and may have been more aware about the dangers of too much sun exposure and avoided it, the study authors suggested.
"Our study adds to the growing evidence that exposure to UV-B light is associated with decreased risk of rheumatoid arthritis," concluded Dr. Elizabeth Arkema, of the department of epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health, and colleagues.
But even though the researchers found an association between greater estimated exposure to UV-B light and lower risk of rheumatoid arthritis in the women in the first phase of the Nurses' Health Study, the finding did not prove that there was a cause-and-effect relationship.
It's not known how UV-B exposure might reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, but it could be due to the skin's production of vitamin D in response to sunlight, the study authors suggested in a journal news release.
