Childhood eating disorder is actually a difficulty faced by children while chewing, swallowing, accepting different textures, or following regular feeding routines.

Some children eat everything while others have their own preferences. They may take many hours to eat, gag or cough while eating. or feel uncomfortable during mealtimes. These challenges can affect their nutrition, growth, and overall well-being.

Eating is a coordinated process involving the mouth, muscles, and sensory responses. When any part of this process is affected, it can make eating difficult for a child.

With early support and the right guidance, children can gradually develop safer and more comfortable eating habits.
