CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Cynthia Rhoton - "Useful and practical information. Clear and practical. I liked the practical applications for children this age and how to get through to them."
Arandeep D. Degun - "The "tips sections" included in the text; the exhibits and the summaries of protocols. Very informative. The case study at the end was helpful. The course enhanced and provided a friendly approach to patients with different medical issues e.g., AN."
Lori King - "It was a great overview of the nutrition needs of adolescents. What about the science behind the digestion of macronutrients? Some studies suggest the brain works better on higher fat diet."
