PART FOUR

3–6 year olds

Between the ages of three and six your child changes dramatically from a toddler into a pre-schooler and then a schoolchild. In this crucial period during which he is expected to learn so much, he needs optimum nutrition to boost his brainpower. As we’ve previously mentioned, one of the best ways to ensure that he eats well and learns to enjoy his food is to eat together as a family. Eating regular, nutritious meals will ensure that he gets all the nourishment he needs.

In this section we offer a wide range of delicious, healthy recipes for your growing child. Included are breakfasts, lunches and dinners, plus soups, side dishes and puddings. We also give some great ideas for drinks, snacks and nutritious party foods. Finally, we have offered a selection of recipes that are easy and fun to cook with your child.
