HEALTH, SAFETY, AND NUTRITION FOR THE YOUNG CHILD, Eleventh Edition, covers contemporary health, safety, nutrition and environmental issues that influence and support the development and well-being of infants and young children. This comprehensive, engaging, full-color resource guides teachers in implementing effective, developmentally appropriate classroom practices. Concepts are backed by the latest empirical research and linked to the new NAEYC Professional Preparation Standards, and the author emphasizes the importance of respecting and partnering with families to help children establish healthy lifestyle practices and achieve their full learning potential. In addition, the text is organized for flexibility in course design, and numerous ancillary materials--including an instructor’s guide, syllabi, an extensive test bank and PowerPoint® slides to accompany each chapter--make course preparation and presentation easier.

Ideal for early childhood educators, professionals and families, the text features current research and information on key topics including children’s mental health, emergency and disaster preparedness, healthy dietary and physical activity practices, food safety, childhood obesity, bullying and fostering resilient behaviors, chronic and acute health conditions, environmental quality and safety and children with special medical needs. Numerous checklists, tables, figures, activities and lesson plans serve as practical resources early childhood students and professionals can use in daily interactions with children and families.
