WHAT EVERY CONCERNED MOTHER NEEDS TO KNOW


Most children are picky eaters but for them it is like any other habit. Nevertheless, as a mother, it is important to know the consequences of picky eating. Research reveals that

1)80% of mothers consider their child as a picky eater
2)70% of mothers feel that their child displays lack of energy and gets tired often
3)57% feel that their child is not gaining weight
4)42% feel that their child falls sick often

Studies have shown that picky eating can result in stunted growth- both physical and mental, susceptibility to chronic illness, and nutritional deficiencies, obesity and eating disorders later on in life and even social and emotional problems in some cases.
