Good nutrition is key to your child's growth and development at every age.
Help ensure your toddler is getting the nutrients he or she needs like carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals by providing a variety of foods from each group.
It is good to keep in mind that toddlers have fluctuating appetites. Appetites soar during growth spurts and periods of intense activity. They also dip when growth slows or when children are tired or excited. Children know best how much to eat - they'll eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. Parents can play a huge role in providing a variety of healthy foods from the 4 food groups and allowing their child to choose how much and when he or she will eat.
