With a focus on practical, evidence-based content, the course is designed to provide learners with up-to-date, reliable knowledge and skills.

  • Importance of nutrition in childhood

    Proper nutrition supports healthy growth, cognitive development, and the prevention of chronic diseases. It lays the foundation for long-term well-being.

  • Nutrition for infants

    Infants require specific nutrition for optimal growth, primarily from breast milk or formula. This phase is crucial for brain development and building a strong immune system.

  • Influences on a child’s diet

    Early childhood habits, family dynamics, technology use, and media influence eating behaviours and food choices, which can impact obesity risk and overall health.

  • Physical activity

    Physical activity is essential for a child’s physical health, muscle and bone development, and mental well-being, supporting energy expenditure and proper growth.

  • Portion sizes

    Proper portion sizes are crucial to prevent overconsumption or underconsumption, which can contribute to unhealthy weight gain or nutritional deficiencies in children.

  • Childhood obesity

    Obesity can result from poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, and genetic factors. It can lead to long-term health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and low self-esteem.

  • Designing and implementing a successful weight management intervention for families

    Effective programs involve educating families about nutrition, promoting physical activity, and making sustainable, lifestyle changes that focus on healthy eating habits for children and their caregivers.

  • Working with children

    Understanding the unique needs of children and involving them in their own health and wellness journey ensures that interventions are more likely to succeed, creating a positive impact on their lifestyle and overall health.
