Alison Miller, Ph.D. explores the factors that play a role in why kids eat the way they do. She also gives tips on identifying your child's eating temperament and how we can help improve their eating behaviors. Several factors play a role in why children eat the way they do. These include temperament, appetitive traits, self-regulation, food responsiveness, satiety responsiveness, and the enjoyment of food.
