CU1527 support children and young people at meal or snack time. 1.1 Outline the nutritional requirements of a healthy diet for young children and young people Children and young people are under doing a lot of growth and development therefore they need a lot of carbohydrates to give them energy, all children are energetic so it is crucial that children have plenty. They also need a variety of minerals and vitamins to help their bodies function properly.

Our goal with this target customer is to provide children and their parents with a full-flavored, healthy, and easy-to-prepare breakfast and snack option. The target parents would be very involved with their children’s activities. They coach the local soccer team, drive the local ballerinas to class, and teach their toddlers to count with BBC. This can be a unique target because most of the competing brands/cereals are targeting older or health conscious middle-aged consumers. With BBC we can go after a new target, but still promote taste and health benefits.

At first glance, the diet seems fairly easy and harmless, but it has some negative aspects. First, most baby food is meant for infants from six months to one year of age. Thus, it lacks proper amounts of protein and other essential nutrients necessary for older ages. Most baby foods lack fiber, calcium, and vitamin D in quantities needed by adults. Fiber is important for reducing the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, as well as lowering the risk of several forms of cancer.
Proper nutrition starts at home and parents need to learn how they can improve the quality of their children’s nutrition and instill the good habits that will ensure they have the greatest chance for a healthy, successful future.

We know our kids have access to school lunch, but we can’t always rely on that to be as healthy as we’d like it to be, and we really can’t guarantee that they will eat it. There are so many ads for junk food and fast food and sugary, chemical laden sodas out there, it can be hard to keep kids eating healthy. Children’s bodies are still growing and their brains are still developing, so it is critical that we make sure they are getting the nutrition that they need and develop healthy habits now.

Children who develop healthy eating habits early in life are less likely to have weight problems in the future. Here are some ways to help children develop good eating practices.
