The Feeding the Kids Workshops: Raising Happy, Healthy Eaters Complete Teaching Kit includes everything needed to host seven interactive workshops for parents. The workshops provide parents with tools they can use immediately  to feed their family a nutritionally sound diet while allowing children to self-regulate portion size. Each workshop tackles major issues for parents, including: “picky eaters,” label reading skills, daily menu planning, recipe improvement and encouraging life-long healthy eating habits in children. Participants learn to classify all foods as “Smart,” “In-Between” or “Empty”—and learn how to eat more Smart and In-Between foods without giving up family favorites. The focus is on do-able, realistic improvements based on current nutrition guidelines. 

Class plans include detailed scripts for mini-lectures followed by instructor facilitated discussions. Each workshop also features: snack ideas, printable mini-posters with brief take-home messages, 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.
