Anorexia in children, also known as lazy eating, is a common condition that occurs in children of all ages. Prolonged anorexia in children will affect the physical development and brain development of children. The consequence of anorexia in children is malnutrition, leading to slow intellectual development and weak resistance.

Every child develops at their own pace and there are many cases where they are considered to be slower than normal. Although the road ahead will be easy and parents will constantly worry about “what to do with a mentally retarded child”, there are many ways parents can support their child at home, giving them the best chance of catching up somewhat with their peers.

Children who do not respond when their name is called or do not answer when called are in a condition where they narrow their communication range. This condition makes it difficult for children to communicate with people around them and they often tend to like to play alone.
