Nutrition is important throughout a person's life, beginning in the womb! Our program on Nutrition takes a developmental approach to nutritional requirements for the prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, preschool, school age, and adolescent stages. The basic facts of good nutrition are presented, including the use of the Food Pyramid as a guide to healthy eating, and the importance of the quality and variety of foods in a child's life is emphasized. Important nutritional problems (such as unbalanced diets and parent-child battles), eating disorders and obesity are addressed, as are their potentially damaging nutritional and psychological side effects.
