According to Nia many mothers who do not understand the situation of children are fussy eaters. For example, make formula milk instead of feeding the child, adding vitamins or supplements to increase a child's appetite, or dilute the food to be more easily incorporated into the child's mouth.

To enhance the enthusiasm of children at mealtimes, there are some steps to try the mother. First, create a fun atmosphere to eat into the time for example by involving children in cooking activities according to age. Secondly, she did eat a varied menu so that children do not get bored.
