The document defines eating behavioral disorders during early childhood and provides criteria for diagnosis. It notes that terminology includes conditions like picky eating, limited diets, and food aversions. The definition requires loss of interest in food, neophobia, or strong preferences limiting intake. Risk factors include genetic predisposition and improper feeding practices. Management involves dietary changes, behavioral therapy, and supplements based on severity. The conclusion emphasizes detailed history and examination, classification by severity, and treatment with nutrition education, therapy, and supplements if needed.

A presentation I made for a graduate-level Maternal & Childhood Nutrition course. This PowerPoint focuses on the important role good nutrition can play in this age group, as well as nutrition programs for this age group.
Right nutrition in early days of life is very important. Nutritional requirements are different for kids and adults in the family. They are in their growing age, they need balanced nutrition but not only high calorie foods, In growing years different age groups have different requirements. Discussion with experts helps in dealing with the situation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Picky eater - Eating behavioral disorder during early childhood
1.
2. Eating Behavioral disorder during
Early Childhood
• The eating process is of importance for
survival and health.
• Eating behaviour of early childhood, a
common problem for pediatric practitioners, is
a topic without clarity.
3. Terminology
• The terminology “eating behaviour disorder of early
childhood” introduce includes conditions such as:
• picky eating
• limited diets,
• sensory food aversion
• selective eating
• food avoidance emotional disorder
• pervasive refusal syndrome
• tactile defensiveness
• neophobia and
• toddler anorexia.
4. DEFINITION
• The proposed definition of eating behaviour disorders
of early childhood states “a condition that imposes a
short-term eating behaviour of the child with possible
risk of long-term health consequences”.
• These effects are important for both child and family.
Definition of Eating Behaviour Disorder of Early Childhood
Criteria include one or more of the following three pillars :
ㆍLoss of interest in food (a behavioural disturbance at meal times)
ㆍNeophobia (a tendency to refuse new and/or certain foods)
ㆍStrong food preferences limiting quantity or variety of food intake
Prerequisites to fulfil this definition include the concern of the caregiver, need
for evaluation of the risk of growth faltering and nutritional deficiencies (macro-
and micro-elements) and/or family disharmony.
5. Definition of Eating Behaviour
Disorder of Early Childhood
• Criteria include one or more of the following three pillars :
Loss of interest in food (a behavioural disturbance at meal
times)
Neophobia (a tendency to refuse new and/or certain foods)
Strong food preferences limiting quantity or variety of
food intake
• Prerequisites to fulfil this definition include:
the concern of the caregiver,
need for evaluation of the risk of growth faltering and
nutritional deficiencies (macro- and micro-elements) and/or
family disharmony.
7. RISK FACTORS
Genetic predisposition
Early feeding difficulties (such as
frequent colic, frequent vomiting and
slow feeding or sucking difficulties)
Birth rank in family (more
common in first child)
Small for gestational age infants
Absence of exclusive breast
feeding in early life
Delayed introduction of solids
beyond 9 months
Improper weaning practices
Improper early feeding practices
(such as little variation and texture
variety in diet, too few new
foods being offered and poorly
structured meal time and practice)
History of previous significant
medical illness
Disturbed sleep patterns in the
child
Conflict between care giver and
child at meal time
Maternal history of anxiety, eating
problems and body image concern
(occasionally also paternal disorders)
Risk identification may provide a clue to early
intervention
9. DIAGNOSIS
• A high index of suspicion for the diagnosis of eating behaviour
disorders of early childhood should be raised if one or more of the
following factors are present:
• 1.Parents are concerned about an abnormal established eating
behavior that is related to diet or meal .
• 2. Health care worker identified consequences where objective
history and examination of the child reveal: growth faltering, micro-
nutrient deficiency.
• 3. Occurs at any age (usually after the age of 2 years) in which a
child independently begins to eat and is usually present for more
than one month.
• 4. Not related to food availability due to poverty or food insecurity
• 5. Thorough clinical evaluation excluded a significant underlying
organic disease that may, on its own, produce micro- or macro-
nutrient deficiencies.
10. Assessment Form for a Child with a Suspected
Eating Behaviour Disorder Early Childhood
Food consumption:
• Total food quantity as assessed by a
dietary recall
• Textures, colors, temperature of food
• Selective food intake or variety
• Frequency of exposure to new foods
• Food group types in relation to the
food pyramid
Behavior during meals:
• Duration of meal times (in keeping
with family norms)
• Meal time schedules
• Participation in family meal times
Outcomes:
1. Anthropometry (weight, height,
weight for height, body mass index)
2. Energy/activity level
3. Trace element and vitamin
deficiency risk (especially clinical
assessment and in some cases where
concerned laboratory assessment may be
required)
4. Bowel habits
5. Intelligence quotient
6. Milestones
7. Immunity as assessed by frequency of
minor infections
8. Vision assessed by an ophthamologist
9. Sleep patterns
11. CONSEQUENCES AND PROGNOSIS
• The condition is, in some cases, not benign
and if left untreated may result in a number of
consequences such as:
• anorexia,
• growth disturbance,
• conduct disorders,
• food preferences into adulthood
• macro- and micro-nutrient deficiencies.
12. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• cow’s milk protein allergy and medication
side effects.
• Specific neurological or psychological
disorders like attention deficit disorder.
• some chronic illnesses.
13. STAGING-SEVERITY ASSESSMENT
• Severity score is mandatory to plan a protocol of management and
follow up.
• This will avoid managing all children in the same way.
Important features to assess severity include:
1. Parental perception of severity (words such as “always”, “severe”,
“worried” and “concerned” should be noted)
2. Family disharmony (with or without overt reference to the ‘picky
eater’ child) must be factored into judging severity of all stages
3. Careful plotting of anthropometric measurements (including
body mass index and growth velocity) and focus on growth
pattern
4. Assessment of clinical signs of possible micro- nutrient
deficiencies
14. Staging Assessment of Severity
Severity Definition
Mild Disturbed eating behavior but without clinical suspicion of
macro- and micro-nutrient deficiencies
Moderate Disturbed eating behavior abnormality with confirmed early
growth faltering (decreased slope or horizontal growth curves
for weight and height) and/or biochemical evidence of micro-
nutrient deficiency
Severe Disturbed eating behavior with confirmed growth faltering
(stationary height and decreasing weight) and/or clinical and
laboratory evidence of micro-nutrient deficiency
15. CLINICAL SUSPICION OF MICRO-
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
• Iron, zinc and vitamin A are the most
common micro- nutrients which could be
affected in eating disorders .
16. Symptoms of iron deficiency range from fatigue and
inability to concentrate to impaired physical and
cognitive development of children. The most common
reason for iron deficiency is insufficient iron intake
from food.
The health consequences of zinc deficiency include
poor immune system function, growth retardation.
Diets with poor meat and fish intake increase the risk
of zinc deficiency, because zinc in cereals is poorly
bioavailable.
Vitamin A is another essential nutrient in the human
diet, contributing to the functioning of the retina, the
growth of bone and the immune respons , vitamin A
found in fruits and vegetables.
CLINICAL SUSPICION OF MICRO-
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
17. MANAGEMENT …..
Tools in the Management of Eating Behaviour Disorder Early Childhood
A. Dietary management (dietician support and advice) including meal time support
and advice, multivitamin and mineral supplements and nutritional supplements
B. Behavioral education and therapy (child and family)
18. MANAGEMENT PLAN
• Whilst therapy will have to be individualized, it
seems prudent to a select management plan
based on the severity of the eating disorder.
Severity Action to take
Mild Dietary and behavioral education, counseling
and consider supplementation
Moderate As in mild but with immediate dietary
manipulation and mandatory
supplementation
Severe As moderate but emergency care and
specific laboratory testing is mandatory
19. Dietary management
• The role of a dietician or nutritionist is critical in these
children.
• The dietician will analyse the specificities of the
composition of the diet, including quality, quantity,
nutritional content and type.
• Nutritional management of an eating behavior disorder
plays a major role in determining health outcome.
• The determinants of a successful nutritional intervention
revolve around three main concepts:
1. A systematic method of nutritional assessment (gathering
objective data)
2. A thorough evaluation of nutritional intake
3. A solid, structured (nutritional counseling) plan
20. GATHERING OBJECTIVE DATA
• Anthropometric assessment is important in
assessing nutritional status of children.
• Weight and height should be measured using
standardized methods and the evaluation of
these parameters should be plotted on
appropriate curves.
21. EVALUATING NUTRITIONAL INTAKE
• Several methods are available to assess dietary intake.
• At the initial visit a 24-hour recall is noted.
• This is followed by a 3-day to 1-week food prospective
diary (which should include a weekend day) for further
assessment. Food logs or 24-hour food recalls are
important for dieticians to collate and must include:
• All food groups
• Well defined meal times
• Food textures at each meal
• Certain behaviors during meal-time such as gaging or
spitting out food should also be noted
22. NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING AND
SUPPLEMENTATION
The important elements to be stressed in
nutritional counseling are:
Developing a meal-time routine
Planning three main meals and 2-3 snacks,
avoiding food fillers
Encouraging new foods (remembering that it may
take up to 15 offerings before a child can be
confidently determined to be refusing that food
and giving up)
Considering nutritional supplementation
23. Tips for Nutritional and Behavioral
Management
Serving age-appropriate portions
Getting children acquainted with
foods through meal planning and
preparation
Involving children in menu
planning
Making healthy food choices
(e.g., fruits, vegetables, and other
healthy snacks)
Sitting with children at meals and
snacks
Eating what their children eat
Planning family meals, which can
encourage healthy eating.
Avoid the power struggle
Let kids participate (letting
children help in food preparation; let
them touch and feel foods)
Don't label children
Build on the positives as they
occur
Expose children regularly to new
food types
Don't bribe children to eat
Beware of over-snacking
Be a positive role model
Give it time
24. CONCLUSION
• The term eating behaviour disorders of early childhood is meant
to be the umbrella under which all problems of eating are listed at
this specific age.
• Detailed history taking from parents and a thorough clinical
examination by the health care worker are essential.
• A classification of severity is proposed to separate children with
meal-time abnormal behavior only from those who have associated
risk, or actual consequences, of growth disturbance and micro-
nutrient deficiencies.
• Following staging, therapy, although required to be tailored to
children and families, should incorporate dietary and behavioral
education and/or therapy.
• Nutritional supplements are a useful but transient addition to the
management of such a condition.
• Vitamin and mineral supplementation should not be given during
the main meals.
• Pharmacological therapy has not been shown to be of any efficacy
in improving eating behavior and is thus not recommended.
