Extracted text: Fostering Nutritional Development is crucial in the life of a young child. For this discussion board, you will investigate why and how. 1) Briefly explain your history and or views regarding nutrition and diet. Would you say those views come from your experience, influence from others around you or your own upbringing? 2) Address this scenario: You are a parent of a toddler around 16 months and a 5 year old. As a result of the pandemic, you really have not been focusing on nutrition for them of yourself. It is super easy to pop a frozen pizza or some chicken nuggets in the oven. You are juggling so much and this strategy gets the job done and keeps your sanity. There is no need to kick yourself as a parent! Let's move on and do better. How can you as a parent change the meals that you are providing your children at this point of their lives? Keep in mind that providing healthy meals is not always the cheapest route. Plan a 3-day menu for their meals. You are to keep in mind the portion size and the fact that the children have not been exposed to this type of food for nearly 2 years now. Let's not forget about yourself! Plan a 3-day menu for yourself as well. You must include: Breakfast, snack, Lunch, snack, Dinner (in a chart...see sample below) Also create a shopping list and price of the foods Include a balance of foods of fresh and foods that you can buy that are already packaged that aren't that bad nutrition-wise. Remember, you still want it to be easy on yourself. Are there any healthy/semi-healthy snacks that you can buy that are ready to hand off to your child/you to consume? Your list and menu should be cost- effective and nutritious for the most part. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Breakfast Snack Lunch Snack Dinner 3) Create/find a picture of at least 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner and 1 snack for your children. Create/find a picture of at least 1 meal for yourself. Explain why the presentation of foods is or is not important. 4) Name at least one APP or resource/object that promotes nutrition for yourself and explain how. Tell us a little about the resource. Be sure to include the price if applicable. How can you stay on track nutrition wise moving forward? 5) What are your thoughts on eating as a family? What are your thoughts on eating with technology at the table (phones/television/etc.). Feel free to express yourself. This is a no-judgement zone. At the end of the day, you need to do what works best for YOUR family. 6) Final thoughts on nutrition and any new ideas that you take away from this assignment and research
