Children's Nutrition - A Parent's guide

Author: 

Angela Falaschi & Andrea Childs

Nutrition is very important for children, but the most nutritious options are not always the most appealing! There is a lot of coverage in the media about the quality of school dinners and the growing problem of obesity in young children, so, if you are a parent or working in a childcare environment, how should you ensure that the children in your care receive the most nutritious food for their growing bodies?

Children's Nutrition - A Parent's Guide will give parents all the information they need to feed their children healthy, delicious, easy-to-prepare meals that don't cost a fortune. The book explains how a good nutritional start in life will help to ensure long-term health and provides tailored advice for children 0-1 years old, 1-5 years old, 6-10 years old and 11-18 years old. Recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as menus to help support children with specific health or behavioural issues will also be included.

Angela Falaschi has been a nutritional therapist for 17 years and Andrea Childs is a journalist with many years of experience; they aim to encourage parents to experience the familial bonding of choosing, cooking and sharing meals, as well as to highlight the importance of good nutrition for children's physical health.
