Dear Roopashree,
Both my children are fussy eaters.
The food at home is healthy, nutritious and tasty but it is a challenge at each meal time with them.
How can I improve their appetite without giving medicine?
Rupa

Ans:

Rupa, as a mother myself, I understand the challenges involved.

In fact, I credit my creativity in cooking to my son’s selective taste buds.

Today, the challenge has doubled as we are not just competing with other dishes but artificial colours and flavours as well.

The best way to make children like to healthy food is to make them experience the difference by bringing them closer to nature. For example, do the burger experiment at home that shows how a fast food burger doesn’t decompose for more than a month!

Take them on nature trails or grow plants at home. Let them smell real herbs and vegetables.

When they buy packaged foods, show them the chemicals listed under the list of ingredients. Let them research the harmful effects of these preservatives.

Lastly, don’t forget to try new dishes and cuisines at home. Involve them in the cooking process to keep up the excitement and enjoy a good home cooked meal.

Hi Dr Aarti, I had written earlier about my 2 year old son regarding his screaming which has now subsided so thanks for the advice then. Over the last year my son's not gained any weight and this largely has been contributed by his habit of NOT eating. We'v tried different tips and tricks but they don't seem to work anymore and we have to subject to the TV at times for meal times only. However lately TV or No TV he just isn't interested in eating anymore. Although we've tried a variety of items from sweet to savory to traditional home made food, he's moody and generally dismissive of anything presented to him (apart from French Toast at times). I do understand as he gets older and more conscious this won't be a problem but for now how do we as parents tackle this to ensure he's invested in eating?

Ans: You can make him feel the different texture and aromas of food. Let him taste it by pairing with his choice of food. The non preferred food can be in very little quantity as good as a size of grain initially.
I am glad my first strategy worked for you. You can try this too. I am sure it will work for your little one to get healthy food habits.

Hello Doctor, my daughter Anaya, is 4 years old. She’s super active and cheerful, but I’ve noticed that she’s been a bit fussy with her eating. She used to love fruits and veggies, but now it’s a struggle to get her to eat anything that’s not plain rice or biscuits. I’m worried she’s not getting the nutrients she needs for her growth. Also, I’ve heard a lot of parents talk about giving kids multivitamins or supplements, but I’m unsure if that’s really necessary or just a trend. Can you help me understand if her eating habits are just a phase or if I should be concerned? What can I do to make sure she’s eating healthy without turning every meal into a battle? Thanks in advance

Ans: Donot offer processed stuff especially if sweet like biscuits as a food substitute. Be consistent with meal times and no snacks to be offered in between. This includes sweet drinks like juices too. Junk food to be allowed only once a week or two weeks of she has been eating a balanced diet through the week. So no chocolates on a daily basis. Once you do this, she will start getting hungry. Then only give her a balanced diet even if she resists. It doesn't matter if she eats less than what you think should be eaten.

I got 8760 rank in jee mains should i opt for nit with core branches or should i go with mnc at daiict gndhinagr

Ans: Shubham, With JEE Main rank 8760, you have viable admission prospects to several NITs for core branches including Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering, particularly in newer NITs like NIT Puducherry (closing rank 11782 for CSE), NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur, and NIT Agartala where core branches accept ranks between 15,000-35,000.

DAIICT's MnC program specifically targets emerging technology sectors with superior placement consistency compared to NIT core branches. Recommendation: Choose DAIICT Gandhinagar MnC for superior placement performance, specialized curriculum in high-demand mathematical computing domain, consistent industry partnerships, and better career prospects in emerging technology sectors over NIT core branches.

Should I take architecture in NIT bhopal or cs aiml in any private college in MP. I am thinking that if I take Architecture in NIT I can learn coding and get good placement because its NIT but wouldn't cs aiml in private college would be a better option I am confused please guide me.

Ans: The choice between NIT Bhopal Architecture and CS AIML in private MP colleges presents distinctly different career trajectories with varying placement prospects. NIT Bhopal Architecture demonstrates moderate placement performance with 71.25% placement rate in 2024, 91.89% in 2023, and 67.12% in 2022, achieving median packages of ?6 LPA, ?5 LPA, and ?3.8 LPA respectively. However, architecture graduates typically earn 30% lower salaries than engineering counterparts and face limited scope compared to technical fields. While learning coding as an architecture student is possible, transitioning to IT roles requires substantial additional effort and self-learning, as architecture curriculum doesn't provide comprehensive programming foundation. In contrast, CS AIML programs in private MP colleges like LNCT Bhopal show stronger placement statistics with 65.58% placement rate in 2024, 71.68% in 2023, and 46.91% in 2022, with dedicated industry connections to major tech companies including Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. Private colleges in MP like Oriental University achieve 42.19% placement rates with packages up to ?72 LPA. The CS AIML specialization aligns directly with industry demands in artificial intelligence and machine learning, offering better career prospects in emerging technologies. Recommendation: Choose CS AIML in a reputable private MP college for superior placement opportunities, direct industry alignment, and specialized technical skills that match current market demands over NIT Bhopal Architecture.

I got 17k rank in comedk and no good percentile in jee mains what should I do

Ans: With COMEDK rank 17,000, you have viable admission opportunities to quality engineering colleges in Karnataka, despite poor JEE Main performance. Your rank falls within the acceptable range for several reputable institutions, with colleges typically accepting ranks up to 25,000-30,000 for various engineering branches. Ten colleges available for your rank include: Bangalore Institute of Technology, BMS Institute of Technology, Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Acharya Institute of Technology, BNM Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, RNS Institute of Technology, KS Institute of Technology, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, and Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology. These institutions offer strong placement records with 85-93% placement rates and packages ranging from 8-15 LPA average. While core branches like CSE may require ranks below 15,000 in top colleges, you can secure admission in branches like Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electronics in mid-tier institutions. COMEDK provides better prospects than attempting low-ranked NITs or IIITs with poor JEE percentiles, as Karnataka's private engineering colleges offer quality education with reasonable fee structures of ?2-4 lakhs annually. Recommendation: Focus entirely on COMEDK counseling as your primary pathway, target mid-tier colleges for core branches or top colleges for non-core branches, and avoid wasting time on JEE-based admissions given your current percentile performance.

Hi I got jee mains 89 percentile and inter board 95 percentage.any nit iiit gfti chance for ece

Ans: Prakash, (Hope you would have filled maximum number of choices in JoSAA Counselling Window, the last date for which was yesterday). Coming to your question: With 89 percentile in JEE Main 2025, your expected rank falls between 1,51,000 to 1,65,000 , making admission to top NITs and IIITs challenging but not impossible through specific pathways. For ECE branch in NITs, general category students typically require ranks below 50,000 for premier institutes, though newer NITs like NIT Puducherry, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, and NIT Manipur accept ranks up to 40,000-50,000 . Some lower-tier NITs may offer ECE seats through home state quotas or in later counseling rounds . IIITs present better prospects, with institutes like IIIT Bhubaneswar accepting ECE students with ranks around 35,000-41,000 , while newer IIITs may accommodate ranks up to 50,000-70,000 . GFTIs offer the most viable option, with Electronics and Communication Engineering programs accepting ranks between 38,000-65,000 for general category . Your exceptional 95% intermediate marks provide additional advantages in state-level counseling and may qualify you for board-based admissions at select institutes . Recommendation: Apply strategically to newer NITs through home state quota, target mid-tier IIITs with ECE programs, focus primarily on GFTIs for highest admission probability, and leverage your excellent intermediate percentage for state quota benefits and alternative admission pathways. Have some more options as backups instead of relying only on JoSAA. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
