This course explores the intricate relationship between nutrition and emotional wellness in young children. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental connection between diet and emotional well-being, with lessons covering the specific nutritional needs of young children and the science behind how food influences mood. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for understanding the critical role of nutrition in a child's overall development. Additionally, we will cover specific nutrients that impact mood and brain function. Participants will learn about the crucial roles of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals in maintaining emotional stability and cognitive function. The course will emphasize the importance of a balanced diet and highlight the key nutrients that support a happy and healthy brain.
We will explore practical applications and strategies for caregivers and educators, focusing on identifying mood-boosting foods and the importance of hydration. The course will examine emotional eating in young children, including its triggers and coping strategies. Participants will gain insights into creating mood-boosting meal plans, encouraging healthy eating habits, and addressing food insecurity. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to support the emotional and physical well-being of young children through proper nutrition.
