Food contributes to health in terms of nutrition, but it also contributes in a real way to children's emotional and socio-cultural experience, and is linked to their developing sense of wellbeing and identity.

We all understand the importance of food and nutrition in early childhood, and this continues to influence policy and practice in early childhood settings.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of food and eating in the early years, including:

• nutrition
• policy development
• health inequalities
• food, culture and identity
• food and emotion
• healthy eating guidelines.

Authors Deborah Albon and Penny Mukherji are both senior lecturers in Early Childhood Studies, and between them have both practical and research experience in the field of early childhood nutrition.

Food and health in early childhood is aimed at all early years practitioners, and will help develop your knowledge and understanding of this important issue.
