Chapter 11: Foods & Nutrition
During the first five years of life, the way in which children are fed - or not fed - not only affects their physical health but also has profound consequences for their emotional and social development. The goals of the feeding relationship between adult and child are to promote the health of the child while at the same time establish feelings of safety, security, and attachment.
