Building Future Health and Well-Being of Thriving Toddlers and Young Children

Description

The early child period is considered the most important developmental phase throughout the lifespan. The 95th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop explored in some detail the current scientific research, challenges, and opportunities of cementing a healthy foundation for life in toddlers and young children. The workshop brought together experts in the areas of health care, public health, and developmental science. The first session focused on the nutritional challenges in toddlers and young children across the globe, such as overweight and obesity. The theme of the second session elucidated the journey from infancy to toddlerhood and the role of nutrition in it, focusing social aspects. And finally, the third session aimed to explain the steps of motor skill development and the role of physical activities and nutrition in cognitive development and learning abilities of a child. The key issues offer valuable insights for health care providers, policy makers, and researchers on how appropriate nutrition, nurturing caregiving, and environment can influence the development and health of children up to 5 years of age.

Preface
The health and well-being of young children are not only central to their families, but also central to the United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goals and to the health and well-being of future generations. Thriving children are dependent on nutrition and physical activity: beginning with the health of parents prior to conception and continuing through the prenatal period into infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, and across adolescence. Nutrition, which includes not only food but also eating patterns, influences the rapid physical and brain development that occurs throughout this period, establishing the foundational processes that influence health throughout life, including the origins of chronic illnesses. Likewise, physical activity early in life contributes to children’s health and cognitive functions, and leads to healthy patterns of physical activity throughout life.
Children’s nutrition and physical activity habits are formed at home, with influences from the broader society, including neighborhoods, child care centers, and schools. Influences also extend beyond the local setting to include the geopolitical environment, climate, and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of thriving children and building healthy habits is the topic of the 95th Nestle Nutrition Institute Workshop entitled Building Future Health and Well-Being of Thriving Toddlers and Young Children , which was held virtually (due to COVID-19) in September 2020.
The first section of this book comprises 5 chapters that cover broad aspects of nutrition in toddlers and young children. The first chapter sets the scene and describes how behaviors such as increasing autonomy and impulsivity can make toddler mealtimes uniquely challenging. These behaviors also render the assessment of toddler diets particularly difficult, but despite limited research in this age group, it is clear that many toddlers and young children throughout the world are at risk for both under- and overnutrition: the so-called double burden of malnutrition. Using Brazil as an example, the section considers how changes in lifestyle and eating habits have led to problems of malnutrition in young children worldwide. Malnutrition during a critical developmental period, in turn, has major consequences on health throughout life, as described in the chapters reviewing the impact of poor nutrition in young children from low-, middle-, and high-income countries. In particular, the section highlights the complex causes and health consequences of obesity in preschool children, a major global public health issue. Collectively, this section emphasizes the common nutritional problems seen in young children worldwide, their consequences on short- and long-term health, and why solutions to these complex problems must involve families, schools, governments, and the food industry.
The second section of the volume includes 5 chapters that address the food and eating transition that occurs from infancy to toddlerhood and early childhood. As child care enrollment increases among infants and toddlers, child care settings are increasingly important in the development of healthy nutritional habits for young children. The section includes an illustration of the development of nutrition recommendations for children in licensed child care settings, ranging from breastfeeding infants to facilitating healthy eating patterns among toddlers. The development of taste begins with prenatal flavor experiences through the maternal diet and the emergence of the olfactory and gustator
