Child and Adolescent Nutrition Counseling
Childhood and adolescence are among the periods of most rapid growth and development. In this process, correct and balanced nutrition; while supporting physical development, it also helps strengthen the immune system, increase mental performance, and form healthy habits.
In child and adolescent nutrition counseling; the child's age, height, weight, growth curves, daily activity level, and eating habits are evaluated in detail. In line with this information, a personalized nutrition plan that supports growth and development is created.
During the counseling process;
- Supporting healthy growth and development
- Instilling healthy eating habits in school-aged children
- Managing picky eating behavior
- Balancing weight problems such as obesity or underweight
- Meeting the changing energy and nutrient needs during adolescence
is aimed for.
In addition, school nutrition, snack planning, irregular eating habits developed due to time spent in front of screens, and educating families about child nutrition are also an important part of the counseling process.
Each child's growth process is different. Therefore, instead of standard lists, a sustainable and healthy nutrition program is prepared that is suitable for the child's needs and lifestyle.
