SUMMARY:

ABSTRACT
Infant food development is represented by all forms of interaction with food,
ranging from preference to ingestion, not only for what we eat, but for other related
elements, such as the environment of meals, motor and cognitive skills to eat, how and
how long it eats and why people eat. It is noticed that eating is not simple, eating is
complex and approximately 25% of all children experience some type of eating problem
during the first years of life, a prevalence that can be up to 80% in children with atypical
development such as autistic and patients with syndromes with neurological
involvement. Research indicates that the onset of eating difficulties occurs before the
first year of life in 50% of children and at 18 months of age, or earlier, in up to 75% of
children. Considering the above, this dissertation aims to trace the parental profile of
parents of children with complaints of eating difficulties aged between 06 to 36 months
and based on these data and in the literature review, an instrument for screening for
feeding difficulties in children aged 6 is proposed. to 36 months. For its achievement, it
was divided into two parts, the first being a literature review chapter, which seeks to
explain the origin, types and causes of children's eating difficulties, addressing current
aspects of conceptualization, classification forms, epidemiology, parenting style and
recommended treatment. The second part is two result articles, the first is entitled as
parental profile on eating difficulties in children aged 06 to 36 months taking into
account the perception of parents about their children's eating behavior over time and in
different situations, the parents' report provided significant information about their
children's eating difficulties, resulting in the second article entitled Child screening for
investigation of eating difficulties, which is an experimental 22-question protocol for
parents of children aged 06 to 36 months with complaints of difficulty to feed divided
into three blocks A, B, C in descending order of predisposing factors to eating
difficulties. This preventive screening instrument, after the validation process, will have
standardized psychometric measures, of clinical applicability, and will be able to
quickly identify the complaints of parents or guardians about their children's eating
difficulties, enabling early referral to specialists and the timely initiation of the
necessary interventions.
