Adequate Nutrition: A Pillar of Early Childhood Development

In this episode of the Real Reform for ECD podcast, Tshepo Mantje interviews Jessica Ronaasen and Anna-Marie Müller - two researchers who worked on the second paper in Real Reform for ECD’s nutrition research series. This paper grapples with the question: what constitutes adequate nutrition for young children? They are joined by a special guest, Lashiwe Mparadzi - an ECD Principal and practitioner and a proud member of the Real Reform for ECD Steering Committee. Lashiwe contributes the powerful experience and perspective of ECD practitioners who face the challenge of nutrition provision in their centres on a daily basis.

Building on the first episode which deals with the legal argument for a young child’s right to nutrition, this episode delves deeper into what food groups are necessary to constitute a nutritious meal and the tools that are currently available for practitioners, parents and caregivers to guide them on nutritious meals for their young ones. The researchers talk through their findings and recommendations of the research papers and finally, the episode closes off with a moment of reflection and gratitude for the ECD sector.
