Abstract

Eating problems have a negative impact on childrens health, such as impaired growth, susceptibility to infection, and even death. In addition, eating problems have the potential to cause cognitive and behavioral disorders, and are associated with anxiety disorders and eating disorders in children, adolescents and young adults. Eating problems can be classified into inappropriate feeding practices, small eaters, parenteral misperception and food preferences. Inappropriate feeding practices can occur primarily due to parents lack of knowledge regarding proper feeding or secondary as a response to small eaters, food preferences, parenteral misperception. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neuromotor development disorder that often occurs in children. This disorder occurs due to damage to the brain that is non-progressive during the growth and development process which can cause disturbances in attitude (posture), movement control, impaired muscle strength and is usually accompanied by impaired neurological in the form of paralysis, spasticity, disorders of the basal ganglia and cerebellum and mental disorders.
