Abstract Objective: The purpose of this article is to summarize major conceptual and clinical variables related to age‐appropriate and developmentally appropriate classification of eating problems and disorders in children and adolescents. Method: A review of current classifications and related literature in child development is provided. Problems with current classification schemes are identified and discussed. Results: Current classifications are inadequate to address the clinical and research needs of children and adolescents with eating disturbances and disorders. Conclusion: A range of possible changes in classification strategies for eating disorders in children and adolescents are described. © 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 2007
