London: Children who are hesitant to try new food even during their adolescence may have a poor diet and also suffer from low self-esteem and anxiety problems, suggests new research.However, forcing them to try these foods at the dining table against their will may also backfire, the researchers warned.
To avoid this problem it is important that there exists a strong parental bond with the child, said researcher Edurne Maiz from University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Spain. She also recommended "having a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere at meal times that the children should participate in preparing the food and doing the shopping, using positive reinforcements and, finally, being a good model".
The behaviour involving rejection of new foodstuffs is a typical phase in infant development, above all in two- to tree-year-olds and which subsides around the age of five.
