The poll found that four out of ten admitted feeling guilty for lying but six out of ten said they reach a point where they do not know what else to do, and almost seven out of ten considered their children to be fussy eaters.

Some 89 percent admit they regularly worry about whether their children are getting the right nutrients, with 13 percent so concerned they have taken them to see a doctor or nutritionist.

The study also showed that eight out of ten mothers have given in when their child refused to eat a certain food.

"Parents looking for an easier time at the table should remember that the best way to get a child to enjoy eating is to interact with them and get them interested in food," child psychologist Dr Gillian Harris, of Birmingham Children's Hospital, added.
