Health, Nutrition and Safety on Children?

We Answered:

How about looking at snack foods that provide good nutritional value for children. You could include a part about commonly provided snack foods by parents that could endanger a child. A young child's airway is smaller in diameter making certain foods dangerous--such as peanuts, chips, marshmallows, and hot dogs.

Describe the importance of safety health and nutrition in a child care facility.?

We Answered:

I am not sure if this a question for an assignment or not so I am not going to answer the question for you but here a few ideas that need to be considered.

It is important that a child care centre is safe and healthy for children to play in and there is nothing that is broken if so it needs to be reported to management to get fixed.
Any accident or incident is recorded so that it can be looked at a reviewed and corrected if necessary
There are no dangerous objects that children, can hurt themselves on.
The kitchen door is firmly locked at all times so that the children cannot have access.

fast food effecting children health because leak of nutrition food in theri diet...WHY?

We Answered:

there are so many fast food places wherever you go. anywhere around the world. and there are plenty of advertisements for it. fast food is easy and quick, thats what everyone loves about it. but its soooo unhealthy. if parents are always buying their kids fast food, and the kids like the fast food, their gonna want to eat it more. parents dont make meals for their children anymore so they just buy fast food. the kids are gonna get used to eating fast food and they wont be eating healthy

Vegetarians/vegans with a meat eating partner - how do you solve child nutrition questions?

We Answered:

1. But so far you get along well all those years, you as vegetarian and he eating meat, why should there be many new misunderstandings :-)? In a good relationship one should be able to peacefully discuss important things and find a more or less satisfying solution.

2. Most likely you will be the one fixing the meals? So as already pointed out, you can prepare fully vegetarian meals for the kids (especially when they are still small). Your partner will either not notice or he should not oppose much, if he is able to live peacefully with you as a vegetarian since this long (see also point 4 of my answer)

The kids can of course nibble at what dad is having too if they like, but their own meals will be vegetarian in the beginning. When they become older they can decide on their own what they want to eat. But by then they will also be old enough to understand why vegetarian food is good for health and all the other reasons.

3. Get some good books about vegetarian pregnancy and vegetarian children nutrition, so if there are any questions or misunderstandings you can back up all by scientific facts. Here are some examples:

* "Your Vegetarian Pregnancy" - http://www.amazon.com/Your-Vegetarian-Pr…

* "Disease-Proof Your Child" - http://www.amazon.com/Disease-Proof-Your…

* "Raising Vegetarian Children" - http://www.amazon.com/Raising-Vegetarian…

* "Better Than Peanut Butter & Jelly: Quick Vegetarian Meals Your Kids Will Love!" - http://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Peanut…

* "The Vegetarian Family Cookbook" - http://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Family-…

4. Speak with your partner beforehand. Really, do it. Do not hide important things and hope it will stay unnoticed. This would only lead to arguments, because he would rightfully feel deceived. Explain why you want the kids to eat (mostly) vegetarian. If he understands and accepts you as a vegetarian he should be able to accept (mostly) vegetarian nutrition for children :-)

5. It will be probably not possible to raise them fully vegetarian, but it should be very well possible to give them MOSTLY vegetarian food. I doubt that your partner will try to force you to feed meat and animal products to the children each day. First of all you show with your own example that it is good and works good for health. And second, if you can back up your opinion with examples of healthy vegetarian children he cannot deny your choice so easily. There should be mutual respect in a good relationship, and if you explain everything he should be able to understand and at least be able to agree to a compromise.

6. The only problem I can see is when your partner is eating meat and believing this would be "very healthy" or when there are any relatives who think that a child "cannot be denied meat". Then it could maybe happen that the children are fed meat and animal products behind your back :-/ But I hope not, because this would be deceiving and disrespecting you, the same as feeding the children secretly vegetarian, without discussing the matter first, would be disrespectful towards your partner.
