apetito – love food!

PARTNERSHIP CONTENT

The early years of a child's life are crucial for their physical, cognitive, and emotional development. And it's during these early years of a child's life that their eating habits are formed and influenced – setting them on a path for life!

It's therefore a really important time to encourage young children to enjoy their food and introduce them to different foods and good nutrition.

Let's face it, every child would prefer to tuck into a bar of chocolate or a packet of crisps if given the choice between that and a healthy piece of fruit, but now is the time to introduce them positively to foods that are vital for their long-term health and wellbeing.

This doesn't mean forcing young children to eat certain foods or restricting others. It's about creating a positive and enjoyable food environment that guides and encourages children to try new foods and make healthy choices.

MEETING NUTRITIONAL STANDARDS

Studies have shown that children who enjoy a variety of foods during their formative years are more likely to maintain a healthy diet later in life. In contrast, children who are fussy eaters and refuse to try new foods are more likely to become picky eaters and develop a limited and unhealthy diet as they grow older.
