Dr Bujtor is passionate about the importance and impact of nutrition in the developmental years.
​
As parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, it is important we understand the vital role that adequate and appropriate nutrition plays in the growth, development, and overall well-being of individuals from early childhood (birth to age 5), through middle childhood (ages 6 to 10), and adolescence (ages 11 to 18), collectively known as the "developmental years".​
Nutrition is crucial in the developmental years. These years present an incredible opportunity to establish lifelong healthful dietary and lifestyle habits
Research has also shown us that behaviours and habits established in childhood and adolescence, including dietary intake habits, often continue to track into later life and commonly recur across the lifespan. Positive and negative experiences during the developmental years can have a cascading effect on all areas of development.
However, feeding children in their developmental years can be a source of confusion and frustration for parents and caregivers.
With an abundance of often conflicting information and opinions available, its common for parents and caregivers to find themselves experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, self-doubt and guilt, develop strained relationships with their children, and remain unsure of the right approach for themselves and their families.
