Eat Right to Grow Right
Feeding Your 5-12-year-old
In today's high-pressured and convenience-oriented society it's a challenge to get your children to eat right and feel good about their bodies. Children, as young as five years old, are already influenced by the media and feel pressure to achieve a perfect body.
This workshop will provide you with the resources, tools and language you need to communicate with your children about food and to begin a dialogue on body image, help build your child's self-esteem and establish good eating habits for life. You will be given a resource binder full of tools; information and many meal and snack ideas to ensure your children eat right to grow right.
During this workshop you will learn how to:
- talk to your children about the foods they eat and their role in growing and nurturing their bodies;
- how much and which foods best support your children's intellectual development and energy needs;
- manage influences and pressures your child may encounter outside the home;
- talk to your children about body image using positive, affirmative language and avoid negative self-esteem issues in the future;
- prevent or reduce the risk of disordered thinking common with parents labeling foods good or bad;
- and establish mealtime rituals to help your children freely express their thoughts and connect with you.
