Is your child a fussy eater? Parents are not to blame, scientists say – and it’s not ‘just a phase’
PARENTS are not to blame if their children are fussy eaters, according to experts.
Research suggests being picky about food is mostly genetic.
1
The bad news is that it means it can last well into their teenage years.
A study of 2,400 pairs of twins found it is significantly more likely for both siblings to be fussy if they are identical than if they are not.
It shows their DNA plays a key role as non-identical pairs can be brought up the same way but eat differently.
Scientists at University College London said their findings might “alleviate parental blame”.

But they added mums and dads can reduce the risk of having a choosy tot by having family mealtimes and introducing infants to a wide range of foods.
Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said: “Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents.
“Parents often blame themselves or are blamed by others.
“We hope our finding may help to alleviate that blame.
“This behaviour is not a result of parenting.
“Our study also shows that fussy eating is not necessarily just a ‘phase’, but may follow a persistent trajectory.”
They found that kids who are particular in childhood are likely to stay the same way in adolescence.
Parents in the study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, answered questions about their twins’ habits at ages 16 months, three years, five, seven and 13.
They found non-identical twins’ tastes were much less similar than identical ones, proving that genetics played a big part.
Identical twins drifted apart as they got older, showing the influence of genes faded over time and their lifestyle played more of a role.
Fussy eating is not fixed – parents can support their children to eat a wide variety of foods
Dr Alison Fildes
Surveys show half of British parents think their toddlers are fussy eaters.
Finicky kids tend to eat more junk food and refuse fruit and veg, meaning parents worry about their health.
They might throw tantrums because they do not want to try new things or claim not to like the taste or texture of certain foods.
Senior study author Dr Alison Fildes, from the University of Leeds, said: “Although fussy eating has a strong genetic component this doesn’t mean it is fixed.
“Parents can support their children to eat a wide variety of foods throughout childhood and into adolescence.
“Friends might become a more important influence on children’s diets as they reach their teens.”
WHAT TO DO ABOUT FUSSY EATING
MILLIONS of parents experience fussy eating and have children who won’t eat their greens. Here are some tips for dealing with it
Eat the rainbow: It’s not all about greens. Include fruit and vegetables that are a range of colours into your children’s diets. Different colours can help get them excited to eat them.
Add fruit to meals: Add fruit to meals without fanfare. Normal breakfasts, salads and desserts are easy to add bits of fruit and veg to without changing them.
Have fun with fruit: Be inventive with getting kids to understand more about the textures and flavours of fruit. Have a go at mashing up berries or creating fruit art.

![30 Min CARDIO WORKOUT at Home [LOW IMPACT STEADY STATE] LISS](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1728596053_maxresdefault.jpg)
A perfect 30 minute full body no repeat, low impact steady state cardio workout at home (LISS) that requires a continuous, maintainable level of effort!
Cardio workouts and HIIT workouts are very different. HIIT is absolutely one of my favourites however low impact cardio such as walking (daily steps target etc), swimming, cycling all contribute to improved cardiovascular health, great for mood boosting, burns energy and still allows for recovery. You have to be aware when your body needs a complete rest also.
This full body cardio workout is a perfect session to burn that energy whilst not over exerting on those active rest days or after a weight session.
No equipment required, you will simply need a mat and a bottle of water.
Please remember that you can’t out train a poor diet.
Nutrition, a training plan, training with intensity and activity levels outside of specific workouts all go hand in hand in order to see and feel results.
The timer will be on for 45 seconds of work for each exercise and no rest. Ensure you pace yourself as there is no specific rest!

WOKE hospital bosses have banned staff from saying babies are born male or female.
Instead doctors and nurses should refer to children being “assigned” as boys or girls at birth.

But critics condemned the advice in the eight-page James Paget Hospital guide, which also warns against using the terms ladies and gentlemen or calling someone a fireman or a policeman.
The online booklet was produced for staff to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month earlier this year.
A section on inclusive language says they should avoid using the terms “born female” or “born male” but instead say “assigned female/male at birth”.
An example includes: “Max was assigned female at birth, then he transitioned in high school.”

The hospital, which opened 40 years ago, serves 250,000 people living in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
Local Reform MP Rupert Lowe said: “This is bonkers. My constituents would prefer this inaccurate and confusing woke nonsense was left out of the hospital.
“Layers and layers of meddling NHS management must be slashed down — with every ‘diversity’ related role made redundant in the public sector.
“Get rid of the lot and divert those funds into the pockets of the frontline staff actually delivering for patients.
“Public money should not be spent on the woke language police. Utterly ludicrous and I will continue to call it out.”
The guide also includes a glossary of LGBTQ+ words, including gender-neutral pronouns and reproductions of nine different transgender flags.
The James Paget University Hospitals Trust said: “We are not making any comment on this matter.”
