“…57 However, mothers who measure their parenting competence by how and how much their child eats show greater frequency of dysfunctional interactions during feeding in comparison with control dyads. 35,58 In summary, this approach suggests that feeding disorders should be understood in a context, taking both child and parental characteristics into account, rather than focusing solely on child factors or caregiver factors. This relational approach suggests that the development and maintenance of the difficulty is associated with the complex interplay of factors in the relationship between child and caregiver.…”

Objective: To review the literature related to the current DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for feeding disorder of infancy or early childhood; pica; rumination disorder; and other childhood presentations that are characterized by avoidance of food or restricted food intake, with the purpose of informing options for DSM-V.Method: Articles were identified by computerized and manual searches and reviewed to evaluate the evidence supporting possible options for revision of criteria.Results: The study of childhood feeding and eating disturbances has been hampered by inconsistencies in classification and use of terminology. Greater clarity around subtypes of feeding and eating problems in children would benefit clinicians and patients alike.Discussion: A number of suggestions supported by existing evidence are made that provide clearer descriptions of subtypes to improve clinical utility and to promote research.

“…For instance, children's emotional temperament has been implicated in the development of overweight, having been shown to mediate the relationship between child and parent overweight (Agras, Hammer, McNicholas & Kraemer, 2004). Furthermore, temperamental differences have been identified between toddlers with "infantile anorexia" and a healthy eating control group (Chatoor, Ganiban, Hirsch, Borman-Spurrell & Mrazek, 2000), with toddlers with infantile anorexia being described by their caregivers as more difficult and more negative. In addition, childhood temperament (specifically higher levels of negative emotionality) has been related to the development of later eating concerns (Martin et al, 2000).…”

“…The onset of food refusal often occurs during the transition to spoon-and self-feeding, typically between six months and three years of age. Cross-sectional studies of IA, conducted on children ranging in age from six months to three years and their mothers, [11][12][13][14] showed that when compared to control samples: (1) the feeding interactions between children with IA and their mothers are characterized by low dyadic reciprocity, greater interactional conflict and negative affects in both mother and child; (2) children with IA have a fussy-difficult temperament, have a heightened level of physiological arousal, are less adaptive, and show irregular feeding and sleeping patterns. In addition, as toddlers, their emotional-behavioral functioning is characterized by both internalizing and externalizing problems; (3) their mothers show psychopathological indexes, characterized by depression and dysfunctional eating attitudes.…”

Objective:To evaluate over time feeding behavior and emotional-behavioral functioning in a sample of children diagnosed with Infantile Anorexia (IA) and a group of typically developing children; and to investigate the relationship between maternal psychological functioning and the children's feeding patterns and emotional-behavioral functioning. Method:Seventy-two children diagnosed with IA and 70 children in the control group were prospectively evaluated through several measures at two, five, and eight years of age. Results:Our findings revealed partial improvement in the nutritional status of the children with IA. However, they continued to show ongoing eating problems and, in addition, anxiety/depression and withdrawal, as well as rule-breaking behaviors and social problems. There were significant correlations between the children's eating problems and their emotional difficulties and their mothers' increased emotional distress and disturbed eating attitudes. Discussion:Our longitudinal study points out that the natural course of untreated IA is characterized by the persistence of difficulties in eating behavior and emotional-behavioral adjustment in both, the children and their mothers.
