Alright from what I understand there are a few parts that you to complete for this question.

a) Provide two websites that clearly identify two items of interest related to children’s nutrition and related health issues.

b) Outline how each item could be used in children’s services by educators, parents or older children.

For question a) from the websites that you suggested you could probably do an item such as:

Food Safety:
http://www.wiggleintohealth.com/nutriti ... afety.html

Cooking With Kids:
http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/ ... ontext/223

For question b) you need to explain how the article/information could be used in an early childhood setting. For e.g. for the article “Cooking With Kids” I would probably add this information to the monthly newsletter or provide it to the preschool group leader to incorporate it into the curriculum.

Now for this bit:

Food Safety: To avoid contamination and food poisoning correct storage and handling of food is essential. To complete the following tasks refer to the fact sheets listed.

This gets a little confusing… I’m not too sure of this is part of the same question as above or a completely different one. Have they mentioned any other tasks that you have to complete within this assignment?

Just re-read the assignment and check if there are any other questions you need to answer.

Hope this helps,
