Children's counseling - how to deal with them

This age group is dominated by dysfunction, which is not caused by any disease but by many co-existing factors including abnormal habits, eating disorders or sedentary lifestyle.

1. Support definition and criteria

It is estimated that the constipation problem may affect up to 30% of children (M.M. Van den Berg, M.A. Di Lorenzo 2006). Untreated constipated children may have an adverse effect on the child's further development and self-esteem (occasionally the problem is accompanied by dirty underwear, which can lower the sense of self-worth).

2. How can I help you with your diet?

Good sources of fiber are vegetables and fruits (especially those eaten with leather or containing small pollen) and whole grain products. If the child eats too little, it is worth increasing his dietary intake. More fiber should not be added to the menu than is recommended, as too much can reduce the absorption of certain mineral ingredients and reduce the energy value of the diet.

3. Recommended daily intake of fiber according to the age of the child (M. Jarosz et al. 2017):

In case of constipation, it is a good choice to give 100% juices (e.g. apples, grapes, peas) but it should be treated more as a medicine than a drink to satisfy your appetite. Children under 3 years of age can also be given less than 10 years of cornmeal by adding a small amount of sugar to the fruit juice to benefit from the microbial effects of cocoa and egg yolks. It is also a good idea to limit the amount of water consumed by the fruit and vegetables, so if a child is aged 16 years or younger, you can prepare a small quantity of sugary and salty fruit juice, for example, if the child is 16 years old.
