Growing With Every Bite – Toddler Nutrition Programme

Optimise your toddler’s nutrition and learn how to best manage food refusal.

Toddler Nutrition.

Growing with every bite programme.

Spectrum Growing With Every Bite is a 4-session toddler nutrition programme delivered online. This programme is specifically designed for preschool children aged 1-5 years old, and will teach and empower you to optimise your child’s nutritional intake by introducing healthy nutritional habits to support your child’s growth and development, while managing challenges including food refusal and fussy eating.

The toddler and pre-school years are a time of rapid growth and development. Did you know that by the age of three years, an infant’s brain has grown from 25% of its approximate adult size at birth to 80% of its final adult size? This is why good nutrition is essential for supporting this vital early childhood development.

It is very common for young children to develop strong taste preferences and particular dislikes which can make meal times challenging and stressful for parents/carers, especially when it leads to food refusal. Our Growing With Every Bite Programme will teach you how to manage fussy eating and food refusal, whilst keeping meal and snack times fun and enjoyable for everyone and ensuring your child is getting the right nutrition.
