Young children need your help to develop healthy eating and physical activity habits for life. During their early years, you and your child’s doctor are partners in maintaining your child’s health.The early years of a child are an important time for developing healthy habits for life. From the ages of 2 to 5, children grow and develop in ways that affect behavior in all areas, including eating. As children grow, they change physically, mentally, and socially. Every child develops eating habits at a different pace. Review the Behavioral Milestones to understand how your child is developing. – See more at:
