Description
It is probably a universal concern for parents: Is my child eating the right food to support their physical and mental development?
But in between dealing with everyday life and cooking foods your child actually likes, meeting their nutritional needs can be a challenge.
And other factors like the cost of living crisis only add to the stress.
A recent study in the UK suggests a fifth of parents have struggled to provide food for their families, and around a quarter say their child’s mental health has declined as a result.
So what impact can poor nutrition have on a child’s development?
How do their nutritional needs change throughout childhood?
And how can we encourage picky eaters to enjoy healthy foods?
Guest:
Hannah Love, Nutritionist and Paediatric Nurse
