Toddler Nutrition

According to WebMD, "Toddlers need between 1,000 and 1,400 calories a day, depending on their age, size, and physical activity level (most are considered active)."

The average toddler needs approximately 1 1/2 cups of both fruits and vegetables every day, or the equivalent of a small apple or large banana.

The average two-to-three year old needs two cups of milk each day, which may come in the form of milk, yogurt or cheese.

Half of a toddler's 4-5 ounces of daily grains should come from whole-grain sources.

Toddlers should have 7 milligrams of iron each day. After 12 months of age, they're at risk for iron deficiency because they no longer drink iron-fortified formula and may not be eating iron-fortified infant cereal or enough other iron-containing foods to make up the difference.

The average toddler needs between three and four ounces of meat or beans each day, with one ounce equaling: 1 ounce of meat, poultry or fish, ¼ cup cooked dry beans, or 1 egg.

Nutrition guidelines for young children

Take heart. Though every child has unique dietary needs (and preferences), you can follow some general guidelines to make sure your child is getting enough of all the right stuff. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ages 1 to 3 get about 40 calories per inch of height a day. Translation: Your 32-inch-tall toddler should consume about 1,300 calories a day for normal growth and weight gain. Caloric needs vary depending on a child's activity level as well as her metabolism and her build, so don't fret if she doesn't eat the exact amount you're expecting.

Grains (bread, cereal, rice, pasta, crackers) 5 ounces

Vegetables (fresh, cooked) 1 1/2 cups

Fruit (fresh, cooked, canned, juiced) 1 1/2 cups

Milk (milk, cheese, yogurt) 2 cups

Meat & Beans (meat, fish, poultry, tofu, beans, peas, lentils) 4 ounces

The discipline tool kit: Successful strategies for every age

Highlights

First, the ground rules
The tools: Babies, toddlers, and up
The tools: Preschoolers and up
The tools: Grade-schoolers

We've all seen them: the out-of-control toddler hurling handfuls of sand at the park; the whiny-voiced 3-year-old begging for candy in the grocery line; the sassy 7-year-old yelling "you can't make me!" at the restaurant.

It is difficult to imagine what must have been going through the heads of Rio de Janeiro beachgoers in recent months as they have seen hundreds of baby penguins wash up onshore dead. At last count, more than 400 penguins, swept from the shores of Patagonia and Antarctica, have been found dead on Rio de Janeiro's beaches, reports the AP's Michael Astor.

RIP Punk Rock Mommy

clipper's remarks: I regret that I just found this blog today. It was written by a strong, courageous woman and her husband and has a beautiful message.

Clip Source: punkrockmommy.org

I learned that all the small stuff is very small and not worth your time and attention. Gossip and resentments,worrying about things that never happen, fearing the unknown. Let it go my lovelies, breath and just be good to each other. I realized not long after my diagnosis that life is too short to spend it hurting people and holding onto the anger we have for those around us. I am no doormat, but I just let go of all that hard core resentment. God forgives us through the blood of His Son. He forgives those who hurt us as well.

Just about when I thought I got everything out of Gmail, I discovered my top favorite feature. We have published over 30 tools in Gmail RoundUp 1 and almost 80 tools and tips in Gmail RoundUp 2 but never mentioned anything similar to this one. Tribute for this one goes to my ‘I am not into computers‘ type girlfriend.
