Description

"Nutrition is integrated with the growth and development of the individual from conception through adolescence. Each stage of development brings on new concerns such as the autonomy of the toddler and social influences on the adolescent. New abilities emerge with each stage enabling the child to eat independently and make food choices. The family is the center of the information, attitudes, and eating habits for the first years and serves as a resource in later years. When the child makes choices based on the understanding of good nutrition and enjoys a variety of foods, the foundation of good nutrition can be set for life. The tape presents the Food Guide Pyramid to guide food choices for children's health, energy, and growth." -Child Development Media, Inc.
