Child Picky Eating Behavior - Understanding and Addressing Food Refusal #3709103 (License: Personal Use)

The illustration depicts a young boy seated at a dining table, visibly upset or disinterested as he gazes at a plate of food-likely cereal or porridge-while propping his head on one hand. His furrowed brow and slumped posture convey emotional resistance, a common reaction in children experiencing food aversion or sensory sensitivities. A glass of milk and spoon sit nearby, reinforcing the typical breakfast setting.
