preschool children (1-6 YEARS)

Chapter 8: Nutrition, Health and Well-being · HOME SCIENCE

preschool children ( - YEARS) Preschoolers, as you all know are very energetic, active and spirited. The rapid growth of infancy is comparatively slowed down now. But the child is very active. There continues to be physical, mental and psychological development.

Preschoolers are still developing their eating habits and working on chewing and swallowing skills. It is, therefore, an excellent time to help the child become familiar with eating healthy meals and snacks. Healthy eating habits formed during these years are likely to be reflected in their food behaviour later on.
