Understanding and Addressing Eating Disorders in Toddlers

Abstract

Author(s):

Eating disorders are typically associated with teenagers and adults, but it’s essential to recognize that they can also manifest in toddlers. While relatively uncommon, these disorders pose unique challenges due to the limited communication abilities of young children. This article aims to shed light on eating disorders in toddlers, their potential causes, signs, and ways to address and prevent them.
