Children are known to be impatient souls, always wanting to hurry onto the next fascinating
thing around! This is evident during the school recess, as out of the scheduled 15 or 30 minute break meant for eating, they barely eat for 5-10 minute and the remainder is spent playing around! This gives rise to a habit of hurried eating, which soon descends to the meals at home, too. Hurried eating leads to an increased risk of indigestion and acid reflux in children. Hurried eating also makes them hungry quickly, thereby leading to over eating which in turn can their risk of obesity too!
