  • ""This highly readable, thoroughly researched book explores food and eating in an historical, cultural and psychological context and, as public concern about children's nutrition rises, its publication is timely. "Food and Health in Early Childhood" is a comprehensive, clearly written text enriched with case studies and pertinent reflective activities to consolidate learning"--Angela Underdown, Associate Professor, Early Childhood Studies, University of Warwick. The media interest surrounding children, food and nutrition continues to influence policy and practice in early years settings. Jamie Oliver's campaign for better school dinners, worries about childhood obesity, the ban on advertising junk food to children and the increase in food allergies amongst young children are all major issues of concern to early years students and practitioners. This book gives you a comprehensive overview of food and eating in the early years, covering the following: policy development; health inequalities; food, culture and identity; food and emotion; healthy eating guidelines; promoting healthy eating in the early years; and, multi-disciplinary working in relation to young children's nutrition. Each chapter includes case studies, links to useful websites, activities and suggestions for further reading. This book is essential reading for Early Years Foundation Degree and Early Childhood Studies students, all staff in pre-school settings, playgroup leaders, managers of children's' centres and those studying for the NPQICL (National Professional Qualification in Integrated Centre Leadership)."
