The problem of children who won't eat - and what can be done about it.~Tommy should be hungry, but we see him just picking at his food. Going back to early babyhood, the film traces in detail how eating habits are formed. We see how individual likes and dislikes must be taken into consideration, and that the worst habit of all is the permanent battle over food. After this analysis we find Tommy still sitting by his well-filled plate. In despair his mother takes him to the doctor who explains that she is really the problem. She realizes that she has been tense and impatient with Tommy from the start. Now it will take painstaking care to build a new atmosphere of cooperation and friendliness to learn understanding of Tommy's personal requirements at mealtimes and all the time.~Animated sequences include a doctor and scientist agreeing on what makes an animated Tommy grow and various sources of nutrition including foods, vitamins, calories, proteins, and carbohydrates. <17mn>
