Behavioral intervention was undertaken with a 2-year-old suffering from severe failure-to-thrive because it appeared that damaging feeding behaviors could be controlled. Altering the social patterns at mealtimes brought about gains in calorie intake and weight that continued through a 7-month follow-up period.
