ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews some of the basic issues related to feeding problems such as medical conditions and social factors. In addition, fundamental behavioral strategies for providing support to young children with feeding difficulties are described. More advanced strategies are also described, but these techniques require extensive training beyond the scope of this chapter and intense supervision and oversight from an appropriately trained professional. Feeding issues can lead to serious health problems and the techniques described in this chapter are intended to provide an overview of how parents and educators can promote healthy eating behaviors, but medical professionals should always be referred to in the case of feeding issues.
