Question
What should parents pay attention to in the daily diet of children with anorexia?
Answer
For children with anorexia, it is first and foremost important to ensure that the child has a relaxed and pleasant dining mood, and to create a good eating atmosphere. Avoid applying pressure to the child’s eating, whether through threats or pleading. Do not over worry about a single meal not going well, nor should snacks be used as supplements. Let the child naturally feel hungry, thus being willing to eat. When the child refuses a certain food, parents should guide them to try it consciously and step by step, neither accommodating without principle nor forcing too much.
