CHFD308 Week 6 Discussion Factors that impact development

This week in our forum we are looking at things that impact the development of the child. We have two parts to our discussion.

Part one-

One of the things that impact a child's overall development is nutrition.

Explain why nutrition is important for child development, and how it has evolved within the family unit. Apply this concept to the lifestyle of busy parents and the impact it has had on the child, and within the family. How has the food industry responded?  How has our government responded?  How have schools responded both with what they serve students and also what they teach students?

Part two-

How does infectious disease and immunizations impact a child's health? What concerns should parents have? How do parents evaluate false claims, and what is the impact of false claims?
