Mike is a 6 year-old boy. His parents Dana and Jack are
concerned that his eating is very picky and he only wants to eat
carbs and sweets all the time. He will often throw tantrums at the
table or try to leave the table. Dana and Jack has tried several
things: They have tried to distract him and make the mealtime
easier by turning on a cartoon on the screen while Dana feeds Mike.
They have also tried a more rigid approach of not allowing him to
have dessert until his plate is clear and restricting his sugar
intake at other times. However, these methods have been of little
success. The family meal time at the table is often a battle and is
not only difficult for Mike, but also leave Dana and Jack feeling
exhausted.
List two interventions you would recommend (within the
scope of what you learned in this course) to Mike's parents and
provide the rationale(reasons for your recommendations) for
each.
