I've chosen to research the topic of nutrition in early childhood. I am interested in nutrition and had I not chosen to major in education my second choice was the medical field, namely nutrition sciences. Now I have the opportunity to combine both worlds within this research competency course.
I have looked into some data and statistics that WIC has developed as well as statistics from various states across the country. I've also done some looking into the impact of good nutrition on the early childhood years (nothing extensive). I know the importance of teaching children at an early age to become eaters who make wise choices.
Have any of you done research on early childhood nutrition? I'd love some links to peer-reviewed websites/articles/resources.
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI think nutrition is an excellent topic. One of the things I hope to teach children at an early age is to make good choices with eating and explain why. The Children's Defense Fund has some good information on nutrition. Below is the link. I hope this helps. Best of luck to you on your research journey. I look forward to learning from the other resources you find.

Hi Amanda
ReplyDeleteI love your research topic and I would personally like to learn from it. Eating healthy is a huge problem for me so I would like to share what ever information you may find on this topic to my cheerleaders. They look up to me and watch my every move, unfortunately, they see a great deal of poor eating habits from me. Good luck!
