CEC / Specialization Course
Learn About the Impact of Nutrients on Growth & Development. Designed to Help Children Thrive. This course also includes pre and postnatal nutrition.
Despite awareness on the part of parents to growing rates of obesity and inactivity with children, many parents are still confused about what makes for healthy childhood nutrition. What is a healthy intake, and how do we guarantee that the food their eating is nutritionally dense?
After completing the individual Childhood Nutrition course you will receive a certificate of completion. In combination with the Holistic Nutrition & Health Coach program and/or the Holistic Nutritionist program, you will receive a diploma and the Childhood Nutrition Specialist designation. Enrolment options are listed further down this course page.

Studies have been consistently shown that children who eat a healthy breakfast and those who have high nutrients status do better in school and report less behavioural problems than their undernourished counterparts.
Concern is rapidly on the rise over the eating habits of our children. This is in part due to the increasing rates of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, ADHD, over-medicated children, and autism in addition to the awareness of how the health of our youngest generation will drastically impact the future.
Many parents and caregivers find nutrition confusing, and seek information from a wide array of sources – often conflicting. It is critical that the focus on childhood nutrition grows and practitioners have solid expertise in this area.
The course begins with pre and postnatal nutrition principles and works its way through to the teen years.
This course can be completed within 8-12 weeks based on 7-10 hours per week of study time, but you may complete it sooner if you have more time available for learning.
