The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimates (as cited in Gaffney, Kitsantas, Brito, & Kastello, 2014) that over forty-million children under the age of five years old are overweight or obese. Not only is it affecting adults, it is also a growing concern for children as well. Trends have shown that obesity is increasing with no hint of slowing down. Nutrition and lifestyle are the key factors affecting obesity. What if a parent is unaware of how much a child should be eating or what they should be eating? Without this knowledge, children could be overfed or fed an unhealthy diet. Family education regarding proper pediatric nutrition is lacking in inner-city communities and communities with high poverty rates, which can be evidenced by the climbing rate of obesity in children within these areas. A child can be taught the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods, but needs the support of their caretakers to prepare and organize meals to help avoid becoming over weight. The objective of this project is to develop an easy-to-use guide about healthy pediatric nutrition from infancy through adolescence for family education purposes. This guide has been designed in simplistic terms in order to be used by families with limited knowledge of key guidelines to healthy pediatric nutrition through examples and factual information and focuses on the major points of infant, toddler, preschool, school-age, and adolescent nutrition through examples and facts. 2014-05-16 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1399629654 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1399629654 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
