MONTHLY
SPOTLIGHT
Why is it crucial to start a balance between healthy eating and physical activity at
such a young age?
Early life experiences
shape a child's health
and developmental
trajectory

Early childhood years

are a time for rapid
growth in cognitive
development

Cognitive development
is vulnerable to many
factors during early
years

Food preferences and

routine levels of
physical activity have
early origins

Many young children in

the US are currently not
meeting dietary and
physical activity
recommendations
