Essential Training in Children’s Nutrition and Behaviour

Children are the next generation. They will grow up to be the leaders, the inventors and the creators, so make sure you’re giving them the best possible start in life. Today, we have the benefit of knowledge, and we know that nutrition and emotional support are extremely important.

To help you understand your children, or the children in your care, it is helpful to have some insight into their behaviour, emotions and development. This will help you to guide them, and allow you to teach them the best way to behave. As well as this, the course includes a section dedicated to nutrition. Diet is vital to behaviour and development and it is becoming increasingly common for people to require assistance in making the right choices. If you begin eating healthily early on in life you’re much more likely to continue this and will be less likely to develop health problems.

Who is it for:

• This course is perfect for anyone who is responsible for children, whether you’re a parent, carer, nursery nurse or teacher
• This course would also be useful for nutritionists who would like to focus on children.
