Eating disorders have been a disturbing issue in any stage of human development. This literature review aimed to analyze scientific production regarding eating disorders in children, with the searching for articles published between 2014-2019 in the databases Scielo, Pepsic, BVS (Lilacs) and CAPES journals, using the terms “childhood” AND “eating disorder”, “child” AND “eating disorder”, “children” AND “eating disorder”, “childhood” AND “eating difficulty”. 43 articles were selected after applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Results indicated three main topics discussed in the studies: how the caregivers influence the children feeding, emotional and psychological factors that influence eating disorders, and the treatment of children with eating disorder. It was concluded that the theme is still little studied, and the international scenario is a reference in publications.
