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.
Nutritional Status of School Age Children in Private Elementary Schools: Basi...IJAEMSJORNAL
Department of Education (DepEd) organizes nutritional programs to improve the health status of children in public schools. Likewise, the researcher believes that health awareness must be raised in private schools as well. This study aimed to affect the community to be aware and more knowledgeable about nutrition. Specifically, this study focused on the nutritional status of school age children in private elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija. It sought to determine the profile of the learners, anthropometrics, clinical data and the knowledge of the learners as to dietary and the significant relationship between the profile of the learners and the nutritional status of the school aged children. With all the data gathered a meal management program was proposed. The study employed the quantitative description design. The study manifests that majority of the respondents were not yet aware of what they eat. In addition, age, greatly affects the respondent’s anthropometrics as to height. More so, age, number of siblings and family income, greatly affect the respondents’ anthropometrics as to weight. The researcher adopted the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipino program that was developed by the DOST- FNRI.

There is an urgent need for effective, sustainable child obesity prevention strategies. Progress toward this goal requires strengthening current approaches to add a component that addresses pregnancy onward. Altering early-life systems that promote intergenerational transmission of obesity holds promise for interrupting the continuing cycle of the obesity epidemic. A 2011 Institute of
Medicine (IOM) report emphasizes the need for interventions early in life to prevent obesity. A 2010 IOM report called for addressing gaps in existing obesity research evidence by using a systems perspective, simultaneously addressing interacting obesity promoting factors in multiple sectors and at multiple societal levels. A review of evidence from basic science, prevention, and systems
research supports an approach that (1) begins at the earliest stages of development, and (2) uses a systems framework to simultaneously implement health behavior and environmental changes in communities.

Prevalence of Undernutrition among Baalwadi Going Children between 2 5 Years ...ijtsrd
Children are the backbone of any country. Under nutrition is the underlying cause of more than half of all deaths in children aged less than five years worldwide. This study was designed majorly to study the prevalence of undernutrition in children. The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of undernutrition stunting, underweight and wasting in children between 2 5 years of age and to analyse major determinants influencing undernutrition. 102 children aged between 2 5 years of age were selected from two different baalwadis of Mumbai through purposive, random sampling. Socio demographic data was collected using a self designed, structured questionnaire from mothers. Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, MUAC were done to determine nutritional status. Anthropometric data revealed that out of total children screened n=102 , 34 children were well nourished and 66 children were undernourished where 27 children were underweight, 24 were wasted 16 were stunted. 55 children had low MUAC. The factors that were found to be significantly associated with child undernutrition were age p=0.046 , gender p=0.000 , maternal education p=0.007 , employment status of mother p=0.001 and number of meals taken by the child daily p=0.000 . The prevalence of undernutrition among children of Baalwadi was high considering the sample size was small.

We explored the empirical relationship between bio-fortification and child nutrition in Uganda. The research expanded the traditional approach used to address child nutrition by including in the model a categorical dependent variable for a household growing bio-fortified crop varieties. We used three waves of panel data from the Feed. The Future Innovation Lab for Nutrition, collected from 6 districts in Uganda. We performed univariate analysis and also estimated a panel logistic regression model to study the association between child stunting and production of bio-fortified crop varieties among smallholder farmers in Uganda. The results confirmed a very strong association between production of bio-fortified crop varieties and child stunting among children aged 0-59 months of age. The strength of the relationship, however was insensitive to the number of bio-fortified crop varieties grown by a particular household. Other important covariates of child stunting were male gender, 24-59 months age bracket, child birth weight, dietary diversity, education of caregiver, antenatal care, household size, access to improved water and household livestock score. These results can be used to vindicate current government policy of promoting production of bio-fortified crop varieties and underscore the need for intensified efforts to promote bio-fortification as a complementary means of addressing long-term child malnutrition in Uganda.

Introduction
Children require different types of diets as they grow up. Every stage of development requires a specific type of diet to enhances growth and general well-being. This is why the federal government has set up rules and regulations and governs to school lunches in the United States. The government introduces updated National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (NSLP) in 2012 to cut down sugar, sodium and fat intake in the schools. The program included introduction of fruits, whole grains and vegetables every day. Statistics shows that nearly one third of children and adolescents in the country are obese and overweight. Poor nutrition in school lunches also increases chances of developing chronic diseases such as kidney stones, heart diseases and diabetes (Schuna, 2017). Healthy nutrition among children and adolescents enhances memory development, social skills and fine motor skills. Nutritionally sound diets in children and preadolescents plays very important roles in preparing them to (for) a healthier future. It is therefore the responsibility of the government to ensure school lunches are free of excess sugar, salt and fats.
There a strong relationship between nutrition and brain development. High intake of poor diet during the earlier years in children leads to anxiety and depression in later years. It also increases emotional and behavioral problems. However, healthy diets such as vegetables, whole grains and fruits prevent children’s risk to for depression in later years. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA, 2018), whole grains contains vitamins B, fiber and minerals that helps kids in school to concentrate in class. The government through the USDA started offering whole-grain rich food in school lunches after the enactment of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2012. The problem now is that these rules have been relaxed and children and adolescents are back consuming sugary foods. Also most schools do not adhere to NLSP program expectations.

healthy foods. There is a perception that healthy foods are very expensive to purchase. Their
food consumption to a large extent consists of proteins from genetically modified organisms
(GMOs), larger amounts of refined grains and sugars and high level of fructose corn syrup. They
consume junky foods that are cheaper to buy. These foods contribute a lot to childhood obesity
among the African American children who consume them.
Obesity is not a disease in itself. However, it leads to an increased risk of individuals to
develop other diseases that may be considered to be chronic. These chronic diseases include
some types of cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes and other
complicated health conditions. A myriad of social and physical negative consequences are
associated with obesity. The conditions associated with obesity carry both short term and long
term negative outcomes that are extremely expensive to treat both at individual and societal
level. It is less expensive to prevent obesity than to cure it. It is therefore important to address the
problem of obesity by implementing effective preventive measures.
Childhood obesity is a world-wide health problem and development of interventions to
prevent or control it should be a priority (Amini et al, (2014). Obesity is prevalent and on the
increase among many school going African American children in the US. Physical activity and
healthy diet are the key preventive interventions that can be implemented to tackle the challenge
of childhood obesity (Chircop et al., (2015).
Obesity is a major health concern. This is because children who have obesity, compared
to those with normal weight are at .

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Nutrition for Children
Introduction
Proper nutrition is important to the healthy development of children. Nutrition can fall
between two extremes: malnourishment or obesity. Supplemental nutrition is encouraged to
develop healthy habits and in turn increase lifespan. Though some institutions may claim that
they are providing children with the nutrition to fulfill their needs, research shows that there is a
need for more efficient strategies to promote healthy eating. An example is that food-insecurity
is commonly believed to lead to wasting of the muscles, but the same factor can also lead to
obesity due to consumption of empty calories. Research on child nutrition calls for development
of policies to help feed children best at school, home, and commercial areas.
Background
Although the 1900s began with malnourishment resulting from the Great Depression and
two World Wars, the United States and other developed countries are encountering increasing
rates of obesity (Gunther & Hopkins, 2015). After the government recognized the lack of
resources to feed the nation, Congress designed a school lunch program called the National
School Lunch Act of 1946 (NSLA). Years later, they also designed the Child Nutrition Act
(CAN) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP). The United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) oversees these programs, but they have instilled poor nutritional standards. The
programs have contributed to the trend of childhood obesity, and researchers have been looking
into how children should be best fed in their environments such as school.
Research
Extensive research on child nutrition has been done especially with obesity rates on the
rise within the United States. The main focus of the articles that I researched are centered on

child nutrition at school, home, and restaurants. The majority of research is conducted through
qualitative studies, but quantitative studies were examined as well. Researchers conduct their
studies by asking survey questions. An example of a question in relation to food insecurity is, “In
the last 12 months, did any of the children ever skip meals because there was not enough money
for food (Kaur, Lamb, & Ogden, 2015)?” An example of a quantitative measure within nutrition
research is measuring weight differences in repeated foreign food consumption throughout the
time span of several weeks (Blundell, Cockroft, Hetherington, & Nekitsing, 2019). The child-
level food insecurity question fell under the specification of skipped meals in the survey. There
was a variety of longitudinal and cross-sectional studies of childhood nutrition. The reoccurring
conclusion from all studies encourages the development of effective nutrition strategies to reduce
incidences of obesity and improve overall health.
Based on the scientific articles, several ways were discovered with how children develop
in a poor condition from nutrition. In an ironic though credible journal, researchers found that
children living in food insecurity were found to have higher rates of obesity. Food insecurity is
characterized by limited access to food. Rates of obesity were measured using the body mass
index (BMI) scale, which is weight divided by height. Obesity was defined as a BMI greater than
or equal to the age- and sex-specific 95th percentile (Kaur et al., 2015). The most common age
group that fell into the category of food insecurity was between the ages of 6- to 11-year-old
children (Kaur et al., 2015). The prevalence of obesity was higher among food-insecure children
than food-secure children for several possible reasons. Children who cannot afford to purchase
nutritious foods resort to more affordable foods which are higher in fat content. Food-insecure
children tend to overeat when food is available, and irregular food habits increase the chances of
being overweight.

Research shows that under-nutrition also compromises appropriate development in
children. A cross-sectional survey observed the prevalence of malnutrition in the children of Iran
aged six years or younger by use of a questionnaire and anthropometric measurements which
include height and weight. A combination of demographic factors lead to the malnourishment of
young children in Iran. Family income lower than 667 U.S. dollars resulted in stunting and
wasting (Heidari, Kavosi, Kavosi, Moghadami, & Rostami, 2014). Living in an urban area
increased the chances of poor child development such as being stunted, wasted, or underweight.
A family with a college education was less likely to experience stunting in their children since
higher levels of education increased awareness of how a child’s nutrition should be
supplemented.
A study in England experimented with how taste exposure and nutrition education
increased the consumption and willingness to try new foods. Findings showed that the children
who wanted to consume the foreign radish from the start of the experiment showed a heightened
desire for it over time by eating more of the food at each exposure. The group of children that
only received nutrition education showed that learning about a vegetable was not sufficient
enough to increase the intake of the food, but it set the scene for trying a new vegetable (article
ref). Researchers proposed a method of increasing vegetable consumption by introducing them
through nutrition education by experiential learning, then taste exposure.
The next cross-sectional study to give insight within the education system is a study of
breakfast habits among school children. According to Albashtawy (2017), breakfast skipping
among schoolchildren was initially high and increased with age. The study found that children
who ate breakfast in the morning did so because it was a daily ritual, wanted to feel energetic, or
eliminated hunger. Those who did not eat breakfast indicated that they did not have enough time
5. CHILDREN 5
to eat at home, or they did not have any breakfast food at home to eat before the start of school.
The findings showed that healthy nutrition at home is crucial for a child to focus in school.
Aside from receiving nutrition from school and home, commercial restaurants have also
impacted the development of children. A study took place in Ireland and England to examine the
nutritional value of children’s menus in restaurants. The study found that chain restaurants in
both countries had salt and fat content that were higher than the recommended daily intake. Even
though there were healthy alternatives to the usual sides like fries, customers still chose to
consume the unhealthy option (Coppinger, Reeves, & Young, 2019). Restaurants fail to advertise
better alternatives to customers and offer attractive deals for choosing more nutritious foods at
the restaurant. Another study observed the associations between BMI, obesity, and the distance
between a child’s residence and a fast food restaurant. Children that lived one-tenth or one-
quarter of a mile away from a fast food restaurant had higher BMI scores (Coppinger et al.,
2019). Students are suggested to reside in areas further away from fast food chains.
Relation to Child Development Theories and Application to Research, Teaching, Working
with Children
Child nutrition can be improved by thorough evaluation of how children are affected by
their surrounding environment. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory shows how a child
is affected by the relationships in their environment (Leigh, 2019). The mesosystem and the
macrosystem of the theory play a role in child nutrition. A mesosystem are the connections
between a child’s immediate surroundings, and the macrosystem consists of laws and resources
(Leigh, 2019). The mesosystem of a child includes their school and family; both places need
nutritional guidelines to foster proper development of a child. Aside from the immediate
surroundings of a child, the macrosystem can put policies in place to ensure that a child is
6. CHILDREN 6
receiving enough nutrients from the food that they purchase at the inner levels of their
environment. An example of this is designing programs to improve access to healthy foods for
schoolchildren (Kaur et al., 2015). Further research on child nutrition can lead to more findings
on the causes of obesity, malnourishment, and food-insecurity and how to best minimize the
three.
Importance for Teachers, Parents, and Researchers
Parents, teachers, and researchers should approach child nutrition with great care as it is a
factor that can grow or inhibit development for life. Parents can change the course of a child’s
development by instilling healthy food patterns. Knowing that child nutrition can affect students’
performance, teachers should take great care in making sure that children are provided with the
nutrients they need to succeed in their educational endeavors. Teachers can teach students simple
lessons about child nutrition using empirical-based research to ensure high quality education. An
example of this would be having children bring in healthy foods and playing “show and tell” to
portray healthy foods in a better light and increase the willingness of students to try the food.
Proper nutrition establishes preventative measures against disease and give researchers answers
as to how people can best lead healthy lives.
