How did the caregiver's interactions help the child develop good health habits





How did the caregiver's interactions help the child develop good health habits?
A little boy came into the day care drinking a juice. The teacher stated to the parent, the child is not to have outside food.

A child should not be taking food or drink from outside into a daycare. That was the parent's mistake. Bringing something that the rest of the children do not have access to, makes them want it. That causes hostilities between the children, not to mention the chance of passing germs.

i don't know....i just know that our daycare the kids can't have outside foods b/c everything is provided there, for the kids, and if i want my son to have a certain thing for lunch, then i have to have a prescription from his pediatrician. basically, i think it is just to keep a hold on what the kids are ingesting while in the center's care. i doubt the center was trying to help develop health habits...they were probably just following the rules. i even had to sign a form so the caregivers can use butt cream on my baby!!! take care and happy holidays:)
