School Age Nutrition Academy
The first 1000 days are fully recognized as setting the foundations of a child's lifelong health. However, are you aware that the ultimate realization of an individual's full potential requires a successful bridging from early childhood to adulthood which lies between 5 to 15 years of age: The Transformative 10 years?
During The Transformative 10, boys and girls experience rapid and visible changes that will affect the rest of their lives. The Transformative 10 is the last major opportunity to shape growth and development, including healthy dietary habits, to maximize the chances of each child reaching their full potential.
