SEPTember 3 Child Nutrition

The early years of children’s lives are critical in shaping their physical, emotional and social well-being. Reinforce lifelong eating habits to help them develop a healthy lifestyle. Whether you have a toddler or a teen, you have the ability to encourage them to eat smarter, move more, learn better and grow up to their full potential.

We will review the individual, family, community, and cultural factors that make your child vulnerable to developing a negative body image and a range of eating and weight related problems. We’ll then discuss what you as a parent can do to help buffer your child from these risk factors and create a healthier community by engaging with schools, businesses, and community organizations.
