Riassunto

Good nutrition helps children learn better and promotes lifelong healthy eating habits. Connecting current scientific research with best practices, Rethinking Nutrition provides information to help you meet and understand children's nutritional and developmental needs.

Each chapter provides examples that bring nutrition principles to life in early childhood settings, topic suggestions for staff discussions, sample letters to families, and further reading suggestions. Extensive appendixes provide additional information on federal nutrition regulations, food-borne illness prevention, the USDA's MyPyramid for Preschoolers, and more.

"Rethinking Nutrition provides early childhood teachers and care providers just what they need---practical tips and research-based guidance on nutrition---all put in the context of realistic child care situations. The easy-to-read and accessible format makes it user-friendly for the busy provider."---Christina Stark, MS, RD, CDN Nutrition Specialist Division of Nutritional Sciences Cornell University
