Children's nutritional needs vary depending on infancy. Because the period of rapid growth slows down a little in this
age group.
Childhood period; One of the most colorful periods of life. During this period, the child begins to examine his family and environment more closely and tries to learn about life. For this reason, a large part of childhood
is spent with research, examination and imitation.
The nutritional needs of children differ according to infancy. Because the period of rapid growth slows down a little in this
age group. Although the slow growth of children worries families, this situation is normal. The child's nutritional needs should be determined and a nutrition program should be organized according to these needs.
Childhood is the period in which nutritional habits are acquired. During this period, the child learns to sit at the table, eat alone, and usually imitates his parents at this stage. Children in this
age group do not get bored with education when it is organized according to their
perspective and they are eager to
learn. Therefore, it is easier to acquire healthy eating habits during childhood.
One of the biggest mistakes made by parents is; It is to think that child nutrition and adult nutrition
are the same. However, the nutrition of children with different physiology than adults will also be different from
adults. Because their nutritional needs are different compared to adults.
One of the most common problems in childhood is loss of appetite. The most common reason for this is psychological
based. Mistakes made by the mother and/or father, such as pressure to eat, fighting at the table, being stubborn and comparing with other
children, can lead to loss of appetite in the child. The importance of nutrition education and psychotherapy should not be forgotten in solving such problems.
Another problem that is commonly seen in childhood is obesity. Childhood obesity should be perceived as a health threat that may also affect the child's future health. In order for the child to grow and develop healthily, he/she must reach a healthy body weight. But the child Children should not follow an unconscious weight loss diet as their growth and development may be negatively affected. Instead, they should implement an adequate, balanced
and healthy nutrition program that meets their nutritional needs. This nutrition program should be created together with the child by an expert dietician. Weight loss and growth should be monitored with weekly checks. In addition
the child should be directed to a sport he/she likes.
