Pediatric Nutrition for the School-Aged Child: An Evidenced-Based Approach, Second Edition

Pediatric Nutrition is specialized medical nutrition therapy (MNT) that focuses on nutrition intervention over the spectrum from infancy to adolescence. This continuing education activity specifically focuses on nutrition therapy for the school-aged child (ages 5 to 12 years) and some of the nutritional/medical issues that are particular to this population. With the childhood obesity epidemic on the rise in the United States, nutrition professionals must be savvy regarding normal pediatric nutrient needs, as well as how to properly assess the overweight child. Surprisingly, school-aged children are also vulnerable to eating disorders. It is also the age when many children get involved in sports activities through school or in their community for the first time. Therefore, it is during these school-aged years that some parents and even the children themselves begin to ask questions about proper nutrition and seek out various resources for the answers. Being able to educate children and their families and develop nutrition care plans while incorporating evidence-based nutritional practices is what distinguishes the nutrition professional as the expert. This continuing education activity is designed to help you earn continuing education credits for dietetics (CDR CPEU).
