Abstract
Picky eating is a frequent behavior among young children, encompassing various issues such
as feeding difficulties at an early age, delayed introduction of solid foods during weaning,
eating under pressure, and being fussy. Eating habits have a direct or indirect impact on all
systems of the human body since appropriate nutrition is vital for optimal development and
bodily functions. As a result, it is crucial to establish programs that encourage healthy eating
habits in children for their overall well-being. The study aimed to assess picky eating
behaviors in children aged 8-13 years living in rural areas and to develop educational
materials aimed at improving their eating habits.
