Question
Why does a child refuse to eat non-vegetarian food during dinner, stopping the meal after eating a little?
Answer
Long-term picky eating can lead to insufficient nutrient intake, affecting intelligence and growth development. It is essential to develop good eating habits, limit snacks and cold drinks, and appropriately consume high-quality proteins such as fish, meat, and eggs. Increasing outdoor activities can promote appetite and digestion. If zinc deficiency is suspected, a trace element test should be conducted.
