toddlers & Preschoolers

A balanced diet packed with nutrient dense foods, supports good health and optimum growth and development during these young years. This is a priority for most parents when you talk to them about feeding their toddlers and preschoolers. It is a good priority because these young bodies need a lot of nutrients to grow a strong healthy body and brain.  

There is another reason why parents should pay close attention to a young child's diet. A person develops their life-long food preferences between the ages 1 and 2 years. Individuals who were fed a variety of foods from all the food groups during this time, tend to adopt life-long eating habits that support good health. In other words, feeding a young child a variety of healthy foods from each food group between the ages of 1 and 2 years of age lays the ground work for a lifetime of healthy eating.  

Positive Patterns for Life would like to help you, the parent of a young child, feed your child a healthy diet and lay ground work for a lifetime of healthy eating.
