Practice point 3
Children aged between one and five years have different nutritional needs to those of older children and adults in particular. It is not just about smaller portions – there are several other considerations too.
Think about the following:
- What are the important food groups for children of this age?
- How can parents get an appropriate balance of healthy food into their child’s diet?
- How might parents try to tackle fussy eating?
- What supplements are recommended for this age group?
- Which do you stock?
