Smile 4 Life @ St Marys

St Marys @ The Park are now working towards our 1st tooth - Encourage Healthy Eating and Drinking. We will be displaying information for parents on the window in the cloak room, we encourage parents to view the information regularly to get the best advice on healthy choices for children's well being.

From the age of 12 months children should be encouraged to drink from an open cup. Drinks in between meals should consist of water or milk and juice should only be offered with a meal to provide your child with the best chance of having good healthy teeth. Lidded cups should be free flow and not the any way up valve cups. Cups where children have to suck liquid through them can have a negative effect on their speech and cause language delays. For further information please see our Smile 4 Life board in the cloak room or speak to Roxy
