Nutrition during childhood

Early childhood is the phase of life from birth to 5 years, while middle childhood is 6 to 10 years. These years represent a critical period of growth and development in a child's life, where they undergo profound physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that play an important role in laying the foundation for their future health and well-being.
​
​As such, these unique periods of the lifespan present a time of great opportunity and importance.
​
Early experiences, including those of dietary intake, can significantly influence a child's physical and cognitive health, later academic successes, social relationships, and overall mental health and well-being.
​
Ensuring adequate and appropriate nutrition during this period is crucial in supporting the rapid development experienced.
