Twelve-month old Dean has been diagnosed with failure to thrive. You have been asked to formulate a general treatment plan. What might you include in your treatment plan and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Because the mother–child relationship during the early stages of attachment is critical, eating disorders shown by infants and young children may be symptomatic of a fundamental problem in this relationship (Lyons-Ruth et al., 2014). Thus, treatment regimens involve a detailed assessment of feeding behavior and parent–child interactions, such as smiling, talking, and soothing, while allowing the parents to play a role in the infant's recovery (Atalay & McCord, 2011; Linscheid, 2006).
