Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child : 9th Edition

Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child : 9th Edition

 
Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child, 9th Edition, covers contemporary health, safety, and nutrition needs of infant through school-age children--and guides teachers in implementing effective classroom practices -in one comprehensive, full-color volume. Concepts are backed by the latest research findings and linked to NAEYC standards. The text emphasizes the importance of respecting and partnering with families to help children establish healthy lifestyles and achieve their learning potential.

Early childhood educators, professionals, and families will find the latest research and information on many topics of significant concern, including food safety, emergency and disaster preparedness, childhood obesity, children's mental health, bullying, resilience, chronic and acute health conditions, environmental quality, and children with special medical needs. Also provided are easy-to-access checklists, guidelines, activities, and lesson plans that no early childhood student or professional should be without.

New to this Edition
  • New Learning Objectives correlated to the main sections in each chapter show students what they need to know to process and understand the information in the chapter. After completing the chapter, students should be able to demonstrate how they can use and apply their new knowledge and skills.

  • New Digital Downloads of the complete Teacher Checklists presented in the textbook are available for students to download, customize, and use in the classroom. An icon identifies the downloadable checklists throughout the text.

  • New Did You Get It? quizzes allow students to measure their performance against the learning objectives in each chapter. One question for each learning objective is featured in the textbook to encourage students to go to CengageBrain.com, take the full quiz, and check their understanding.

  • Several chapters have been rewritten, reorganized, and expanded to improve student learning. A new section, "Emergency and Disaster Preparedness," has been added to Chapter 8. Former Chapters 14 and 15 have been combined into a new Chapter 14, "Nutrients That Promote Growth and Regulate Body Functions (Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, and Water)." Technical detail has been replaced with material that is easier for students to understand. Chapter 18, "Food Safety", has been reorganized and new information added to draw attention to a serious health concern.

  • A New Teach Source Video Connections feature introduces students to short video clips filmed in actual classrooms and available for viewing at Early Childhood Education CourseMate. Each video illustrates important chapter content and includes questions that can be used for self-reflection and/or group discussion. The videos are also appropriate to use for professional in-service training.

  • A new Partnering with Families feature addresses the importance of family involvement and inclusion in children's health, safety, and nutrition education. Information on a variety of topics is provided in letter format for busy teachers to copy and send home or share with families in a newsletter, program handbook, website posting, parent conference, or bulletin board display.

  • A new Connecting to Everyday Practice feature presents real-life situations that challenge students to resolve common dilemmas by applying chapter content. Thought-provoking questions encourage self-reflection and/or group discussion.

  • A new Did You Know. . . ? feature in the margins offers interesting facts to increase student curiosity and interest in chapter content.
