Johnny is a 7-year old boy who presents with feeding problems. Parents report that Johnny will often kick, scream, and cry any time it is time to sit down to eat. Mom has tried providing toys during mealtimes but he still refuses to eat. She has taken him to the doctor and ruled out any physiological issues. When Mom puts plates of food in front of him, he just throws it on the floor. Although she tries her best, she can only get him to sit for 10 minutes and during that time he accepts very few, if any, bites. Mom often lets him get up from the table and play while the family is eating. As soon as Johnny gets up from the table he is happy and stops crying. Johnny then eats other snacks throughout the evening. Mom has come to you asking for help. What is a strategy you may try first?
