Baby Care :: Nutrition for infants – Preschool: Ages 3 to 6

By age three, some toddlers may have moved past establishing independence, but others will still be saying ‘no’ very vigorously. It is a good time to introduce a variety of finger foods after checking with the parent about allergies. Developmentally, toddlers are working on setting boundaries; so, the best approach might be to appeal to their curiosity without insisting that they try new food. This age can also be fearful, so don?t be dismayed if a child rejects a food due to its appearance or texture. Another day will provide another try!

Baby Care :: Nutrition for infants – Elementary School-Aged Children

Nutrition for children ages six, seven, and eight is best examined from the individual rather than the age perspective. While eight-year-olds have a better sense of future than younger children, some eight-year-olds will complain when their lunch or snack is delayed or changed without notice. All three ages are deep into skill development and can be encouraged to help prepare food (creatively) for the other children. Sevens and eights are more likely to respond to requests to model good manners than a six-year-old will be. Six-year-olds who come to day care after school will tend to be tired and need a nutritious snack that rejuvenates their energy. Snacks for seven- and eight-year-olds can be a time of talking and relaxing.

Fats, oils, and sweets supply mainly calories but little or no vitamins and minerals and should be used sparingly. No one food contains every nutrient. Children need to eat a variety of foods within each group. A child who favors bananas, for example, should be encouraged to eat apples, oranges, and other fruits as well.

For example, adults may say: ‘Here?s a piece of candy for being such a good girl or boy.’ Or they may learn that food can fill needs other than hunger, such as when they miss mommy, they suck on a bottle or eat a cookie.
