OCCURS WHEN
CHILDREN REFUSE TO EAT
CEAIN FOOD GROUPS,
TEXTURES, SOLIDS OR LIQUIDS
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, MAYBETALVIVIENNE
MEANGER ARE HERE TO TELL US
ABOUT THIS.
>> THANK YOU.
DISORDERS.
>> IT'S USUALLY A CHILD WHO
IS HAVING DIFFICULTY EATING
A CERTAIN CONSISTENCY, THE
TRANSITION FROM DRINKING
FROM A LIQUID
MONTH.
IT HAS TO BE THAT LENGT OF
TIME, BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE
OUR OWN PREFERENCES OF FOOD,
AND
DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T EAT
TOGETHER.
THERWOULD BE A DISCUSSION
WITH THE PEDIATRICIAN, AND
THEY WOULD REFER TO US.
>> IS THAT SOMETH ARE SOME OF THE TIMES,
LIKE A MONTH OR LONGER?
>> RIGHT.
USUALLY IF A CHILD IS HAVING
A PROBLEM, THEY WILL SPIT
THE FOOD OU TD THE
FOOD IS COMING TOWARD THEM.
THEY WILL CRY.
PARTICULARLY FOR A SMALL
INFANT, A SMALL BABY WHO MAY
BE B BREAST
MILK OR BOTTLE FEEDING --
THEY MAY HAVE A WEAK SUCK,
THEY MT CRY, AND MUM DOESN'T
THINK SHE NEEDS TO WORRY,
AND HAD THEY'RE THE ONES WHO
NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT
SUFFICIENT NUTRIENTS, THEN
THE BRAIN DOESN'T HAVE THE
ENERGY TO GROW AND DEVELOP
THE WAY WE WOULD LIKE IT TO.
USUALLY THE CHILD IS NO THEIR
FEEDING PERIOD OF BEING A
CHILD EXPERIENCE SOME KIND
OF FEEDING DIFFICULTY.
SO I THINK THAT'S REASSURING
FOR PARENTS TO K
FIRST LINE --
>> OF DEFENSE.
>> IS TO GO THERE.
KYLE, A LOT OF TIMES FROM
THERE, THEY END UP COMING IN
TO SEE YOU, AND THIS IS JUSTWITH?
>> WE WORK WITH SPEECH
PROBLEMS AND LANGUAGE
PROBLEMS, SWALLOWING,
FEEDING, SENSORY
INTEGRATION -- WE WORK WITH
MANY W THE INSURANCE AND
AHCCCS PLANS, AND WE WILL
COVER THAT.
>> I LOVE EVERY TIME KYLE
COMES AND BRINGS ME SOMEBODY
ELSE WHO CAN DIVE INTO ARE
BEING, OF COURSE, ONE OF
THEM, AND SOME OF THOSE
SIGNS THAT YOU WERE SAYING
ORHOSE NUMBERS THAT YOU
WERE GIVING WILL MAKE A NEW
PARENT FEEL MAYBE I'
L SIGNS FOR THEM.
>> AND I THINK MOST CHILDREN
DO EXTREMELY WELL, AND
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE JUST ONE
RUBBERY
SPOON INSTEAD, WHERE TO PUT
THE FOOD IN THE MOUTH TO
HELP THE CHILD BE MORE
THE WAY.
THANKS FOR TACKLING YET
TODAY.
