The Feeding the Kids Workshops: Raising Happy, Healthy Eaters Complete Teaching Kit includes everything needed to host 7 Interactive Workshop Sessions that provide parents with tools to feed their family a nutritionally sound diet, while allowing children to self-regulate portion sizes. This course tackles major issues for parents, including: “picky eaters,” label reading skills, daily menu planning, recipe modification and encouraging life-long healthy eating habits in children. Participants learn to classify all foods as “Smart,” “In-Between” or “Empty”—and learn ways to eat more Smart and In-Between foods, without giving up family favorites. The focus is on do-able, realistic improvements any parent can make immediately.

Class plans include detailed scripts for mini-lectures followed by instructor led discussions. Each workshop also features: snack ideas, printable mini-posters, corresponding optional reading assignments in the parent text, Feeding the Kids (8th grade reading level), plus exciting worksheets (printable from included CD) for parents to do with children at home. Worksheets include “Circle It” healthy food suggestions lists, “Create-Your-Own” recipe modification ideas, peace-at-the-table exercises and simplified label reading exercises.
