Nutrition for school-aged children should promote growth and meet energy and nutrient needs without promoting fatness. During the school years, children will experience increased opportunities to make choices about their food intakes.

Parents can help make their children make positive food choices by planning family mealtimes, keeping a variety of foods in supply and setting positive examples. Habits formed in childhood are likely to carry into adult years.
