child if that was what he or she asks for very early in the morning.

house in the morning without any form of food as it was not wise for the child’s
growth.

with eating snacks,move around bare footed ,noting that a child should not be
poorly treated.

a child should eat a balanced diet on
all occasions.

packet of biscuits ,juice and water,usually some parents do not care about this
in between course meals ,they eat more than
adults”

fruits in a day ,while discouraging the habit of giving a child junks to eat as
it could result into an over bloated body.

stakeholders on the future of nutrition of our children.
During the period of refreshments ,children were allowed to
play in a section of the Hall at the All Seasons Plaza in Agidingbi, Ikeja ,Lagos.

can no longer claim that they were not aware of the crisis situation if they do
not take care of a child very well.
