Question

The child doesn’t like to eat, and they play while eating. They can keep a mouthful of food for over ten minutes without swallowing, and the parents are very worried.

Answer

It is recommended that parents correct the child’s inattentive eating habits in a timely manner, using methods such as rewards or criticism, and making the child understand the consequences of not eating on time. In some cases, it may be helpful to let the child slightly feel hungry to strengthen their focus on meals.
