selfitis:Obsessive taking of selfies
Therefore, if you never grow out of your particular eating habits, chances are you may pass them onto your offspring in turn.The UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital advises that parents use a variety of bright food colours and textures as a way to interest young children in the food that they're eating.
For kids who take a packed lunch to school, buying them a fun lunch box is also a great way to make their mealtime more exciting.
While genetics could make a child feel more inclined to try new foods, there are numerous tricks of the trade that adults could employ to improve the way their children eat and encourage a more balanced diet.
Dr Mark Griffiths, of Nottingham Trent University's psychology department, said: “A few years ago, stories appeared in the media claiming that the condition of selfitis was to be classed as a mental disorder.
“While the story was revealed to be a hoax, it didn't mean that the condition of selfitis didn't exist.
“We have now appeared to confirm its existence and developed the world's first Selfitis Behaviour Scale to assess the condition.”
Through the study, which was carried out with 400 participants from India as the country has the most users on Facebook, the Selfitis Behaviour Scale was developed, which can be used to determine how severely people are afflicted by the condition.
Using a scale of one, for strongly disagree, to five for strongly agree, people can determine how acute their selfitis is by responding to statements such as “sharing my selfies creates healthy competition with my friends and colleagues”, and “I feel more popular when I post my selfies on social media”.
