Topic: Effects of Poverty on a child's Health and Nutrition.

Thinking back on how Health, Safety and Nutrition affects children's growth and development, discuss the impact of poverty on a child's health and nutrition. What does your textbook say about nutrition and malnutrition?
As the preschool teacher, what signs of possible malnutrition do you look for to assess a child's health? (Refer to the Table 3-4, page 73).
What steps can you take to meet the special developmental and educational needs of children living in economically disadvantaged families?
Name two resources in your community that will assist low-income families with children to gain access to healthy, nutritious food. Be sure you name a specific agency and describe briefly what is offered. Do not refer to a general resource like "food pantry" or a "church." Be more specific than that. This vague reference is not helpful to parents. Try to find at least one resource that helps families access healthy food. Consider undocumented families as well. What resource can you think of for those families who may not qualify for government programs? Lastly, discuss a creative but sensitive way to share this with the families?
