  • reduction in all junk foods has definitely seen less tantrums and mood swings.
  • . I am also concerned about the long-term affect of food additives on health.
  • Artificial colourings caused inability to relax, sleep, broken sleep, temper/aggressiveness. We removed them from our child's diet and yes, it has made a huge difference

  • My child becomes aggressive and hyperactive. If she avoids artificial colourings then she is 'normal.

    This entire web page is devoted to allowing parents to share the effects that high amounts of sugar, additives, food coloring and other substances have on their children. This supports parental influence in the area of childhood nutrition.

    Expository and persuasive website that aligns to many issues brought forth by Schlosser's Fast Food Nation findings from the "On the Range" - "What's in the Meat" chapters. Whereas bias is evident, the site design won a Webby.

  • decline in family dinners had also coincided with increased access to high-fat convenience food.
  • “As a society, we have lost the beneficial effects of sharing a meal around the table.
  • children were healthier and less likely to be overweight in households where families eat together around the dining table.

  • Separate research has concluded that around one-in-10 adults never eat a meal with their children and another 10 per cent only share dinners once a week
  • “The decline of family meals has led to the erosion of social skills among youngsters, despite the fact that it is increasingly becoming clear for the future that an ability to get on with people and share ideas will be just as vital in the workplace as the ability to master English and maths,” he said
  • “The over-emphasis on material success and, in education, on valuing attainment only, with too little attention paid to establishing a sense of belonging, has meant that some fundamental values have been inverted. "Essentially, our education system and our culture have got things upside down. We've told our children that they will reach a sense of belonging by means of achieving material success, instead of the other way round.”

    This article shows one area of decline in the traditional family structure. Nutrition suffers when the family does not eat together regularly. Also, children grow up with depleted social skills and disadvantage in the workplace. This is relevant to my research project because I want to study nutrition and plan on having a family on my own so this seemed to be a highly relevant article and potential resource for my project.

    I can use this has a reference page to get to different sites for my research. For example going to links to find information about being a good sustainable chef or getting facts on the foods we eat that are healthy and real to be able to back up my argument.

  • "Families who eat together tend to eat healthier. They learn portion control, since there's only so much food put out for everybody. It also reinforces time limits on eating."
  • Difficult as it may be, limiting TV time is absolutely a must, Kleinman says. "You should be outside with your kids, walking or running, modeling what a healthy lifestyle is all about -- or your kids will not take it seriously."
  • Studies show that when parents make the effort be model good nutrition for their children, it really does work. One study focused on 114 overweight families, with kids aged 6-12 years old. Like their parents, the kids were overweight. As parents took measures to get into shape, so did their overweight kids.

  • Make breakfast a priority. Eating breakfast fuels body and brain and is a big part of good nutrition for children. Kids who eat breakfast daily get more nutrients overall. They are also less likely to be overweight, and fare better at school. If growing kids don't get that first meal of the day, they miss out on protein, calcium, fiber, a little fat to help them feel full, plus important vitamins

    This shows how parents can influence their children, either positively or negatively, to have good nutrition. Ultimately, this effects their future lifestyle and that of their family in the future. This relates to my research topic because it shows another potential family decline, and another way that children are influenced greatly by their parent's decisions and actions.
