Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have found that low-income families rely on a limited variety of foods to feed their children, regardless of food sufficiency. Studies have shown that small percentages of young children consume a variety of fruits and vegetables but sizable percentages consume high-caloric, high-fat, salty snacks, carbonated beverages and sweetened fruit drinks. Some data indicates that increased caloric consumption, larger portion sizes, and lack of physical activity have contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United States. Other studies of low income families find some children in the United States undernourished due to food insecurity and lack of nutrition education. The purpose of this study was to design, implement and evaluate an educational intervention to encourage preschool children to adopt healthy eating habits based upon the recently released Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. It was intended to form the basis for ongoing, updated nutrition education at Jenkintown Day Nursery (JDN) for lower income children. The study design was quasi-experimental. A convenience sample of twenty-nine subjects from the prekindergarten participated in three nutrition interventions at weekly intervals. Topics covered included choosing a greater variety of foods, eating healthier snacks and having some awareness of the connection between activity level and energy needs from food. Themes for each intervention were as follows, Intervention One: The Milk Group; Intervention Two: Fruit and Vegetables; Intervention Three: Grains, Activity and Fats. During each 40 minute intervention subjects were asked to participate in activities including visual identification and categorization of different foods, listening to stories involving healthy food choices, helping to prepare healthy foods and discussions about what is and what is not a healthy food choice for meals and snacks. The subjects were given a pretest and posttest for each intervention measuring gains in knowledge. Results indicated an overall positive increase in posttest mode, median and mean scores for all three interventions. Analysis of responses by question indicated a positive increase of over 20 percentage points on one question from each intervention. For intervention one, correct responses increased in 3 out of 6 questions asked on the posttest; for intervention two, in 4 out of 6 questions; and for intervention three, in 6 out of 6 questions. Some questions in the first two interventions showed a decrease in correct responses. Results showing an overall improvement in scores for each intervention seem to indicate that children at the prekindergarten level would benefit from nutrition education, which may have a positive effect on preventing both under nutrition and obesity in older children. Findings reported here may add additional evidence that children at this level do benefit from nutrition education, empowering them to take responsibility for their own good nutrition. It is important that similar studies be done with a larger population using instruments for testing with established reliability and validity. Long-term studies would also be of benefit to the field of nutrition education, measuring the effects of starting education at the preschool level and tracking outcomes as children get older.

This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at and listening to picture and story books is a ubiquitous activity, frequently enjoyed by many young children and their parents. Well before children can read for themselves they are able to learn from books. Looking at and listening to books increases children’s general knowledge, understanding about the world and promotes language acquisition. This collection of papers demonstrates the breadth of information pre-reading children learn from books and increases our understanding of the social and cognitive mechanisms that support this learning. Our hope is that this Research Topic/eBook will be useful for researchers as well as educational practitioners and parents who are interested in optimizing children’s learning.
