Picky eaters (PEs) consume limited foods, demonstrate food aversion, and have a limited food repertoire, which hinders their growth and health. These behaviours are common in children with special health care needs despite the rise in typically developing children. This leads to less attention being given to intervention programmes for typically developing children. Therefore, this scoping review aims to investigate the key concept of an existing intervention programme for PE among typically developing children, primarily on the types and approaches selected. A thorough literature search was conducted on three primary databases (PubMed, Emerald In-sight, and Web of Science) using predefined keywords. The literature was then appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute\u2019s guidelines and protocols, and the PRISMScR checklist. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were also specified in the screening procedure. Results showed that the majority of the interventions in these studies were single-component interventions, with the sensory approach being the type that was most frequently utilised, followed by the nutrition approach and parenting approach. Single and multiple intervention components improved the assessed outcome, with a note that other components may or may not show a similar outcome, as they were not assessed in the single-component intervention. Given the evidence that picky eating is influenced by various factors, a multi-component intervention can provide a substantial impact on future programmes. In addition, defining picky eaters using standardised tools is also essential for a more inclusive subject selection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15010242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T02:15:42Z","timestamp":1672798542000},"page":"242","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Interventions for Picky Eaters among Typically Developed Children\u2014A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mohd Shah","family":"Kamarudin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Rehabilitation & Special Needs Studies (iCaRehab), Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8680-3087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd Razif","family":"Shahril","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthy Ageing & Wellness (H-CARE), Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hasnah","family":"Haron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthy Ageing & Wellness (H-CARE), Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1497-0548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masne","family":"Kadar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Rehabilitation & Special Needs Studies (iCaRehab), Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0789-1486","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nik Shanita","family":"Safii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Community Health Studies (ReaCH), Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5414-446X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nur Hana","family":"Hamzaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Rehabilitation & Special Needs Studies (iCaRehab), Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 56000, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"46","DOI":"10.1007\/s13679-017-0248-9","article-title":"Understanding Food Fussiness and Its Implications for Food Choice, Health, Weight and Interventions in Young Children: The Impact of Professor Jane Wardle","volume":"6","author":"Gibson","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr.
