Both for the healthy and the sick child:

  • to determine the nutritional needs for the child (from 0 to 18 years) in residence as well as in community and to deduct and justify the quantities and qualities of necessary food ;
  • to distinguish and analyze food behaviors and hygiene of life not compatible with the maintenance or the recovery of a good health;
  • to work out councils, diets, personalized food prescriptions (including menus and recipes), informative notes adapted to the health of the child;
  • to fix priorities in necessary nutritional measurements
  • to carry out a number of these tasks in considering sociocultural and economic realities of the subjects or communities concerned.

In all cases, the word “nutritional” always includes the notions of hygiene of life..
