Instead, they have rigid and restricted eating habits for other reasons.Many kids with ARFID avoid foods that have a certain taste, texture, color or some other specific quality.  And some kids with ARFID just have very little interest in food. It's common for kids with all kinds of ARFID to like only a very limited set of foods.What sets ARFID apart from normal picky eating is that ARFID has significant negative impacts on the child's physical and/or mental health. - How is it typically diagnosed? - What are the signs that a child may warrant a diagnosis? - Is this diagnosis comorbid with other diagnoses, typically? - How is it typically treated? - What role do parents have in the success of treatment? - How can a parent find a provider who specializes in this? Website mentioned for more information - www.train2treated.comTo learn more about Nikki, www.nikkipaganolcw.com.For more information about Dr. Egan and Lacey Wallace's services:Website -Dr. Tara Egan's child & adolescent therapy services, books, webinars, public speaking opportunities, and counseling/consultation services, Go HERE.Facebook - learn more HERE.YouTube - learn more HERE.Instagram - learn more HERE.Edited by Christian Fox
