Nutrition for Infants and Children Under Six
Meeting children's nutritional needs
is a major goal as well as a concern for both parents and caregivers.
Between conflicting information about what is healthy and the often
finicky appetites of children, parents and caregivers often see
the selection of appropriate foods as a dilemma. Caregivers and
parents often find conflicting information about the kinds and amounts
of foods needed for infants and children under age 6. Nutrition
for Infants and Children Under 6 is an excellent program that focuses
on nutritional needs as defined by the Food Guide Pyramid, for three
specific stages of development: Infants: birth to 12 months; Toddlers:
1-3 years; and Preschool-age children: 3-5 years. Cambridge Educational.

Stranger Danger

shows parents and caregivers how to safety rules to children;
how to help children recognize who is or isn't a stranger; where
to instruct children to find safety zones if they are scared or
in danger; and how to prepare children to become streetwise to potentially
dangerous situations. The goal is to parents how not to scare
children but to prepare them. By knowing how to react to strangers,
