This pillar will teach you healthy recipes and ways to introduce nutrition to children and the whole family.
A nutritious diet is closely linked to a child’s growth and development – it supports their physical and cognitive development, helps maintain a healthy weight, promotes increased quality of life, and helps protect against infection.
Involving your children in food preparation helps to build their interest in food. Depending on age, let them help in the kitchen, at the shops, and in the garden.
We often find that eating behaviours that are considered normal developmental behaviours from children are mistaken for and labelled as fussy eating. It is important that children can self-regulate their intake of foods and feel safe to try and explore different flavours and textures.
