Childcare Provider Nutrition Training
Actions Speak Louder Than Words, April 17, 2013, 6:30-8:30 PM
Children "learn" nutrition, physical activity, and other health behaviors by observing and imitating adults. Experience "less than ideal" role modeling, hear and see parents' opinions of role modeling, and develop an action plan to foster more positive role modeling to help children engage in more health-promoting behaviors and practices.
- Develop a list of health related behaviors to role model for children.
- Differentiate desirable and undesirable modeling of identified health related behaviors.
- Paraphrase parents' expectations of health related behavior role modeling by caregivers.
- Set personal goals and develop plans for role modeling positive nutrition and physical activity related behaviors.
- Describe the positive impact of role modeling on the caregiver/child relationship.
