Overview

How much our children consume on a daily basis has an influence on their health, not just instant but in the future. Malnutrition is the root of many of the health issues that we see in our children. Our feeding practices may have an impact on their food connection for the rest of their life. This course on Child Nutrition & Development will teach you how to keep your child's nutrition in check and work toward their development.

On a daily basis, it is essential that the children consume all of the required dietary categories, including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and adequate water. Parents and child caregivers will be better able to make better choices for their children if they understand all aspects of healthy eating. In addition, when children have favourable food intake, they have a lower risk of developing a variety of mood disorders, behavioural issues, learning disabilities, and chronic illnesses.

This course emphasises the significance of diet for a child's physical as well as mental development. To construct a healthy, productive life, you must begin early, even before the child is born, because the brain grows at a rate of 75 percent within the first two years of life. So prepare yourself to make a better future for your children.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Recognise the connection between a child's growth and nutrition.
  • Understand the methods used to keep kids healthy and safe.
  • Learn about several nutrients that provide a child's energy and stamina.
  • Determine the best kind of physical activity for children.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
