2. Affect digestion and absorption: picky eaters may lead to children's distraction when eating and playing, making eating time too long, affecting nutrient intake, and causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and affecting digestion and absorption.

3. Growth retardation: Due to unbalanced nutrient intake and indigestion, picky eaters may experience growth retardation or even stagnation. Compared with their peers, their bodies may be significantly thinner.
