Building Future Health and Well-Being of Thriving Toddlers and Young Children. Группа авторов
research is needed to ensure that infants can feed themselves safely and acquire micro- and macronutrients required. Although neophobia is developmentally normal and typically resolves, it introduces challenges to families and can transition into pickiness. Effective parenting practices include the structure of providing healthy food and age-appropriate settings and opportunities for toddlers to feed themselves. In addition, responsive feeding requires caregivers to read toddlers’ signals and to respond promptly, appropriately, and with nurturance. This pattern ensures that toddlers receive the guidance and nurturant care that is needed to develop healthy feeding behavior and emotional well-being [26].
