title: Failure to thrive--tackling feeding problems: a community-based approach.
abstract: Failure to thrive rings fewer alarm bells these days in comparison with other concerns such as child sexual abuse. Yet, writes Diana Hampton, it remains a significant source of anxiety to parents and professionals working in child health and development. Here she describes a Children's Society project which aims to tackle the problem of failure to thrive through one-to-one work with families in their own homes.
