❶   When a child is upset, the easiest and quickest way to calm them down is to give them food.

 

❷  This acts as a distraction from the feelings they are having, gives them something to do with their hands and mouth and shifts their attention from whatever was upsetting them.

 

❸  If the food chosen is also seen as a treat such as sweets or a biscuit, then the child will feel ‘treated’ and happier.

 

❹  In the shorter term using food like this is effective.

 

❺  But in the longer term it can be harmful as we quickly learn that food is a good way to manage emotions.

 

❻  Then as we go through life, whenever we feel annoyed, anxious or even just  bored, we turn to food to make ourselves feel better.
