Abstract:
Introduction. The moment parents introduce solid food to their child is considered a
fundamental step in a healthy development of an individual. Nevertheless, it remains a really
controversial topic, making room for new theories and new patterns of parenting. This often
leads to the idea that the previous models are harmful to children and have to be forbidden. At
the same time the errors that can occur during this period of maximum impact on the child
growth become evident not necessarily in the nearest future. These are especially prominent in
childhood and adolescence, when the personality and discernment of the child develops in
conjunction with their own food choices.
