Feedback:
A balanced diet will take into consideration all of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals needed for healthy growth and development of the toddler. A scrambled egg for breakfast will provide the toddler with protein and help to regulate calcium and phosphorous for good bone growth. Cake and ice cream, fried foods, and candy are not nutritious foods for a toddler and indicate that instruction has not been effective.
