Description
Nourishing the young child can be a challenge. This stage of life is critical to the development of positive attitudes toward maintaining a healthful diet and learning to make reasonable food choices. Educators of young children are often the gatekeepers of child nutrition. This article reports on the current nutrient needs of young children, reviews changes to children's eating patterns, and describes a collaborative nutrition project between early childhood educators in Head Start programs and university nutrition students. Seventy-two Head Start staff attended the programs; the outcomes indicated that a majority of the participants found the presentations new and interesting, and they indicated they would incorporate the nutrition information into their own classrooms. The nutrition students praised the collaboration as being a great experience during which they also were able to enhance their public speaking skills and gain valuable experience in engaging an audience and holding their attention.
