This class is designed to give parents practical, actionable information on how to improve nutritional outcomes for big kids. Nutrition is a complex subject and a lot of it is highly technical. The goal of this class is to make it clear what parents need to know and do to maintain optimal nutritional health for their children.

Developing children of various age groups have significant differences in nutritional needs and many existing educational materials do not sufficiently address these differences. Big kids develop substantially in a very short period of time and their nutritional needs are distinct from children just a few years younger. This class focuses exclusively on the nutritional needs of big kids 7 through 10 years old and is part of a series of classes that address nutrition needs by age. Designed in collaboration with nutrition experts, there are 100+ citations in this course outlining best practices and recommendations that will teach parents what they need to know about nutrition for big kids.
