Learning to eat: birth to age 2 yr. Infants and toddlers’ experiences and learning within the caregiver - • child feeding relationship shape the development of eating behavior • Rapid brain growth and developmental milestones in first 2 years • Parent feeding practices play a critical role in food preferences and eating behaviors – What, when, and how parents feed • Parents have the opportunity to establish healthy dietary patterns but the persistence of traditional feeding practices is problematic. – Transition to table food diet is typically complete by 2 years – These were protective in times of food scarcity Feeding to Soothe: Now an overabundance of food, promote excessive energy intake • • Pressuring children to eat: promotes dislike of foods and preference for energy dense and sweet, food less likely to be eaten Feeding frequently or in large portions-decrease variety, eat fewer vegetables • • Offering preferred foods- evidence shows infants and preschoolers will eat more when given larger portions of preferred foods – These practices compromise development of self-regulation Birch & Doub, 2014
Learning to eat: birth to age 2 yr. Familiarization • Familiar is preferred, unfamiliar will be avoided or disliked • Milk is most familiar. When weaning, all things measured by this – Formula flavors – Breastmilk provides a variety of flavors • Infants reactions to foods introduced at weaning shapes the development of likes and dislikes for table food – Early exposure and repetition – With increasing age neophobia to novel foods and flavors increases until middle childhood • Understanding this helps see that this is a normal response not just “picky eating” • Infants also have unlearned preferences for sweet and salty and rejection of bitter and sour – Can be modified with repetition – Easy to establish unhealthy patterns if one forgets the importance of familiarization Birch & Doub, 2014
Learning to eat: birth to age 2 yr. • Associative Learning – Association of the food or flavor with the affect generated • Associations with emotional tone during feeding can shape food likes and dislikes – Pairing of novel flavors with familiar ones can influence development of food preferences • Unfamiliar flavor becomes associated with the preferred flavor, increasing liking of the new flavor, even by itself – Tasting the food is necessary to alter preference and intake • Yet children hesitate to taste. Flavor- flavor conditioning increases child’s willingness to taste novel food. Birch & Doub, 2014
Learning to eat: birth to age 2 yr. • Observational Learning – Social influence provides tool for promoting tasting and intake of novel foods • Children show tendency to taste unfamiliar food more readily when they observe adults eating them than when offered alone to the child Birch & Doub, 2014

Parental Influence on Children’s Eating Environments and Obesity Risk: Implications for Preventions Key Points • Parents have a high degree of control over their child’s eating environment • Parents’ own food preferences, intake patterns and eating behaviors greatly influence their children • Observational learning greatly affects children’s intake • Pressure, coercion, food restriction and strict meal time without hunger are counterproductive Anzman et al., 2010
Observational Studies Support • Early periods in eating transition and development show promise for targets in obesity prevention • Most notably post-natal suckling to solids but also baby food to table food • Repeated exposure to a variety of solid foods increasing acceptance of fruits and vegetables in childhood Anzman et al., 2010
ANSWER QUESTIONS #17-19 Anzman et al., 2010
#17 Traditional feeding practices to promote healthy eating support the positive influence of: A. Observational learning B. Coercion techniques C. Food restriction D. Strict meal schedule even in the absence of hunger
#18 Observational studies support the hypothesis that childhood obesity can be prevented by: A. Inattention to gestational weight gain B. Parents serving only the foods that they like C. Targeting the periods of developmental milestones like post-natal suckling to solid food transition D. Limited exposure to a variety of foods
#19 Research reveals that infants who are repeatedly exposed to a variety of solid foods during infancy showed: A. Restrictive taste preferences B. Less acceptance to fruits and vegetables in childhood C. More acceptance to fruits and vegetables in childhood D. More food allergies
Sensory Education & Exploration Instead of asking children if they like what they’ ve tasted, ask them to taste the food and tell you what they think: • Taste • Texture • Aroma • Appearance Sound • • Temperature
The Benefits of Sensory Education • Eliminates the thumbs-up/thumbs-down dismissal of food. • Helps develop awareness about different properties of food. • Allows for incremental exposure to difficult foods. • Keeps kids open to multiple tastings. • Takes the focus off fruits and vegetables (less pressure=more success). • Fun! Dina Rose PhD- It’s Not About the Broccoli
HOW DO WE HELP PARENTS ADDRESS PICKY EATERS ?
• Structuring the environment to set children up for success – Make sure the child is hungry – Sit the child at a table or in a high chair – Offer forced choices: You can have X or Y – Avoid asking if a child wants to try a food – Praise for being brave and trying a new food – Offer small tastes at first – Be persistent! Offer repeated exposures to the same food until it is tolerated at a meal
• Managing avoidance behaviors – Set a clear goal for how much the child needs to try – Require the child to stay seated until the goal is met – A timer can be set so refusal behaviors are not what lets the child out of the task – Provide positive attention when the child is sitting calmly and approaching the new food – Use planned ignoring for dawdling, verbal refusals, and other avoidance strategies – Might start with touching, kissing, or licking a food before working up to a bite
• Avoidant and Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is diagnosed in extreme cases of picky eating – Avoidance leads to restricting foods over time – Behaviors become difficult to manage – Incentives and exposure-based therapy often needed • ARFID behaviors can be driven by: – Sensory sensitivity – Lack of interest in eating – Fear of aversive consequences

GREGORY, J. E., S. J. PAXTON, AND A. M. BROZOVIC. "PRESSURE TO EAT AND RESTRICTION ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CHILD EATING BEHAVIOURS AND MATERNAL CONCERN ABOUT CHILD WEIGHT, BUT NOT CHILD BODY MASS INDEX, IN 2- TO 4-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN." APPETITE : 550-56.
• Feeding strategies that parents use to control the quantity and content of their children’s food intake may influence the child’s eating behavior • Parents are more likely to use higher levels of control over child feeding when they are concerned about their child’s weight – Disrupts a child’s ability to self -regulate their eating – May exacerbate problem eating behavior • Pressure to eat more leads to reduced food consumption • Restriction of snack foods leads to increased preference for the food – However, modeled healthy eating has been found to increase intake of foods being modeled Gregory et al., 2010
Two Main Aims 1. Explore maternal feeding practices and concern about child weight (overweight or underweight) – Directive measures-pressure to eat and restriction – Non-directive measures-monitoring intake of unhealthy foods and modeling 2. Test whether this concern impacted child eating behaviors and/or BMI Measures Participants were mothers of children aged 2-4; given • questionnaires at home • Demographics • Concern about child weight • Feeding practices • Child eating behavior Gregory et al., 2010
• Key Findings – Pressure to eat was significantly positively associated with maternal concern about child underweight – Pressure to eat was associated with higher child fussiness – Restriction was significantly positively associated with maternal concern about child overweight – Mothers were not influenced by the child’s actual weight status, but their concern instead • Pressure to eat and restriction were associated with concern about child weight and eating behaviors but not with the child’s BMI directly Gregory et al., 2010
ANSWER QUESTIONS #24-27 Gregory et al., 2010 Gregory et al., 2010
#24 Parents attempts to restrict unhealthy foods and promote healthy foods can result in: A. Disruption of the child’s ability to self -regulate their eating and can exacerbate the problematic eating behavior B. Limitation of unhealthy foods and exclusion of those foods from the child’s diet C. Improved vegetable consumption D. Acceptable role modeling of feeding behavior for children
#25 The study discussed two primary aims. These were: A. To explore maternal feeding practices and concerns about child’s weight, and test whether this concern impacted child eating behaviors and/or BMI B. To explore food restriction and maternal factors related to food intake, and BMI of children as a result C. To explore relationships in maternal feeding as a child with choices made as an adult and their impact on BMI D. To focus on restriction of food and it’s effects on BMI alone
#26 There is a direct association between maternal concern for their child being underweight and: A. The child’s actual weight status B. Higher levels of food fussiness C. Failure to thrive in the child D. Decreased use of pressure to eat
#27 Overall study findings concluded that generally: A. Parents use feeding practices to control their child’s actual weight status B. Parents use of pressure to eat and restriction were directly related to the child’s actual weight C. Pressure to eat and restriction were associated with concern about child weight and eating behaviors but not with the child’s BMI D. The child’s BMI could be positively impacted by parental use of pressure to eat or restriction practices
• Parents often worry about nutritional status and future health problems, regardless of actual weight – This can lead to pressure to eat or restriction of food (does not typically produce desired effects) – Parents may have history of picky eating/ overweight and want to similar prevent problems for their children • Parents get worn down by conflict or resistance at meal times -> leads to negative, coercive cycle
• Modeling and monitoring are effective but often underutilized and undervalued by parents – Monitoring should be paired with meal scheduling (in contrast to random restriction of food) – Modeling can be used to encourage healthy food choices and portion size • Pitfalls – Parents who think their child is underweight often encourage him/her to eat anything because it’s something – Can be difficult for parents to use modeling without pressuring
• Don’t expect parents to change practices right away- behavior change is hard! – Involves family routines, schedules, cultural factors, and meal habits – Incremental changes and problem-solving are beneficial – The whole family (which may include extended family) must be on board
"LOOK AT NUTRIENT DENSITY WHEN TALKING ABOUT HEALTHY DIET." AAP NEWS , 2015, 31. AAP COMMITTEE ON NUTRITION.
Look at nutrient density when talking about healthy diet • “Commentary” from the AAP Policy Statement on Snacks, Sweetened Beverages, Added Sugars, and Schools- 2015 • Policy Statement focuses on competitive school foods considering 5 attributes – Selected from the 5 food groups (vegetables, fruits, grains, low- fat dairy, quality protein) – Promote a broad variety of food experiences – Avoid highly processed foods; use fresh when possible – Use the minimum amount of added sugar necessary to promote palatability and consumption – Adheres to USDA nutrition standards and portion sizes 2017 -AAP Juice Policy change
• Commentary discusses errors of the past and new approaches – Elimination of foods that are deemed a high health risk – Low cholesterol, low fat, low sugar fads were ineffective and leave people confused • Focus instead on nutrient density – Foods are a blend of nutrients – It’s impractical to omit “bad” foods from the diet – “Forbidden” ingredients used in moderation improve the taste and enhance desirability of high-nutrient foods • Emphasis on nutrient- dense foods allow “all foods to fit” in a dietary pattern when portion and proportion are appropriate – Focus instead on gradual improvements without asking for abrupt change in dietary habit • Change to sweetened whole grain cereal with fiber from a sugary breakfast cereal AAP News, 2015
