Healthy eating and physical activity habits are key to your child’s well-being. Eating too much and exercising too little may lead to overweight and related health problems that may follow children into their adult years. You can take an active role to help your child—and your whole family—learn healthy eating and physical activity habits that last a lifetime.
Weight-control Information Network:
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.
What are healthy child portion sizes at meals and snacks? There are many different ways to help preschoolers meet their MyPlate recommended daily servings. In general, preschooler portions are quite a bit smaller than those for adults! You might be surprised to see the difference between child and adult portions. This presentation from Dr. Jennifer Fisher (Temple University) and Dr. Leann Birch (Penn State) provides examples of appropriate preschooler portions sizes for each food group.

Optimal infant and young child feeding practices rank among the most effective interventions during an emergency. Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential to ensure the growth, health, and development of children to their full potential. The first two years of life provide a critical window of opportunity for ensuring children’s appropriate growth and development through optimal feeding.
According to WHO and UNICEF’s global recommendations the followings are optimal infant feeding practices:
1. Early Initiation of breastfeeding within the 1 hours of birth
2. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (180 days)
3. Nutritionally adequate and safe complementary feeding starting from the age of 6 months with continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond.
FoodFight is an educational nonprofit whose mission is to revolutionize the way we think about food. Using schools as a platform, we arm students, teachers and parents with the knowledge they need to make healthier eating and buying decisions. Join the fight!

Who is in need

The community of children whose parents undergoing cancer treatment are in need of the services the Children’s Academy of Pinellas has to offer. Expanding the childcare program to include complimentary nutritious meals will not only encourage proper nutrition for children of the academy, but help alleviate some of the parental or caregiver stress that often accompanies those undergoing cancer treatment.
Where are they?
The population of children being served at the Children’s Care Academy live within the central west portion of Pinellas County, Florida.
When is the need evident?
Children can be at the academy for several hours a day, often during breakfast, lunch and or dinner times, requiring the need for children to receive a nutritious meal. Some parents may not have the time, energy or financial means to provide nourishing food for their children during their stay at the academy. The need is evident for each child as long as the parent or caregiver is undergoing cancer treatment.
What is the need?
The need for expanding the outreach program is two-fold; to ensure children are receiving nutritious meals and to help ease some parental responsibilties while undergoing cancer treatment. Many parents or caregivers do not have family members or friends available to help care for children during time-consuming cancer treatment sessions. Traditional daycare facilities are fashioned to accommodate working parents requiring payment for services on a continual basis regardless of how often the children attend. Daycare facilities are also very expensive and do not provide nutritious food programs on a complimentary basis. The Children’s Care Academy is designed to care for children coinciding with treatment schedules on a complimentary basis.
Pinellas County is home to a large population of single-working parents struggling to make ends meet. Single families generally face greater challenges in everyday life with less income and less family support. Demanding cancer treatment schedules can further complicate the single-family structure resulting in an even greater need for the resources offered by the Children’s Care Academy of Pinellas.
Why does this need exist?
Parents or caregivers undergoing cancer treatment face a multitude of challenges. Those undergoing treatment become all consumed with vigorous treatment schedules and learning to deal with the aftermath of some of the physical and emotional side effects resulting from treatment. Treatments such as radiation and chemotherpay can take a toll on the body resulting in nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite and fatigue; leaving little energy to perform even the easiest tasks at home, such as prepari.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. The Crisis:
Childhood Hunger
17 million children in the US
—that’s nearly one in four—
struggle with hunger.
Undernourished children suffer
from:
Impaired cognitive development
Long-term emotional & health problems
Decreased educational attainment
Decreased productivity

3. TEACHER SURVEY RESULTS
Too Many Kids are Coming To
School Too Hungry to Learn
62% of teachers say they see
children who regularly come to
school hungry each week
because they are not getting
enough to eat at home.

“Teachers are our intelligence network and first responders” --George Stephanopoulos
*survey reached 740 K-8 public school teachers nationwide

4. The Problem:
Access
There is enough food in
America to feed all children, yet:
10 million eligible kids don’t
get free or reduced price
school breakfast.
Only 16% of kids who ate a
free or reduced-price school
lunch during the school year
also participated in summer
meal programs.
There is huge gap between kids who are eligible for programs
4 and those who receive them.

11. WHAT DOES CHILDHOOD
HUNGER LOOK LIKE?
You’re an 8-year-old
girl who has to get on
the bus by 6 a.m. in
order to get to school
on time
11
12. WHAT DOES CHILDHOOD
HUNGER LOOK LIKE?
There’s no time to eat
breakfast. And even if
there was food in the
house, there’s nobody
around to cook it.
12
13. WHAT DOES CHILDHOOD
HUNGER LOOK LIKE?
When you arrive at
school, you walk by the
cafeteria where the “free
breakfast kids” are just
finishing up. Your
stomach twinges but
you don’t think of joining
them. It’s embarrassing
when everyone knows
your family is poor.
13
14. WHAT DOES CHILDHOOD
HUNGER LOOK LIKE?
When it’s finally time
to eat, you’re so
hungry that you fill up
your tray with pizza,
cookies, chips and
soda.
14
15. WHAT DOES CHILDHOOD
HUNGER LOOK LIKE?
After school, you’re due
back at home to take care
of your little brothers and
sisters.
You wait for your mom
and eat another piece of
candy to stop your
stomach from growling.
You hope your mom’s got
money left over from her
check to bring home
dinner.
15
16. WHAT DOES CHILDHOOD
HUNGER LOOK LIKE?
Otherwise…you go
to bed hungry another
night.
16
17. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
You still wake up early
to catch the bus, but
on the way to your
classroom you grab a
breakfast packed with
fruit, milk and cereal
from the cafeteria.
17
18. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
The entire class eats in
the beginning of first
period, so this kind of
free breakfast is
nothing to be
embarrassed about.
18
19. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
Your free school lunch
includes healthy,
delicious options and
you look forward to it
every day.
19
20. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
With your stomach full
of nutritious food, you
can concentrate on
what the teacher is
saying.
20
21. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
After school, you
attend an afterschool
program at the Boys
and Girls Club where
you get a healthy
snack before playing
basketball with your
friends.
21
22. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
At home, you find a
fridge full of fruits and
vegetables from the
farmers’ market. You
and your mom learned
how to make affordable,
healthy meals through
an Operation Frontline
nutrition education class
and you think cooking is
pretty cool.
22
23. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
On Fridays, your
teacher sends you
home with a backpack
full of healthy snacks to
share with your
brothers and sisters
over the long weekend
when meals are
sometimes scarce.
23
24. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
During the summer
months when school is
out, you spend your
days learning and
playing at your
neighborhood summer
program where you
receive healthy snacks
and meals every day.
24
25. WHAT’S DIFFERENT
IN 2015?
Hunger is something
you never have to
worry about.
So you can spend your
day doing what you do
best – being a kid.
