Nutrition Program For Kids
BE SMART, EAT SMART is a weight management program for pre-school, elementary & middle school age children.
Through education on eating right, exercising & choosing healthy lifestyles, children can reach their weight management goals.
EATING RIGHT & REACHING GOALS
I will assist children & their families to incorporate the BE SMART, EAT SMART
meal plan into daily food & beverage choices.
By following the plan, the children will consume fewer calories while eating healthy foods.
CONSULTATION TOPICS
Eating every meal, especially breakfast
Making wise food choices
Increasing vegetables & fruits in the family diet
Distinguishing physical hunger from psychological hunger
Establishing an environment of healthy eating habits
With the customized nutrition plan, families can reach their weight management goals while feeling healthier & more energized.
EXERCISE
I will work with the child to design an exercise program that works to meet the unique needs of the individual & their family.
Activities will engage the child in moderate to intense activity & encourages fun & free play.
BEHAVIOR COMPONENT
There will be a focus on how to make attainable short-term goals.
Each participant will set at least one nutrition & exercise related short-term goal.
OTHER TOPICS ADDRESSED WITH PARENTS INCLUDE:
Use of non-edible rewards
Support through encouragement, praise & by example
Providing positive self & body images
How emotions lead to hunger
Hunger vs Cravings
TV, video game & computer usage vs physical activity
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT ISSUES INCLUDE
Increased Body Mass Index (BMI)
Gaining more weight than your health professional recommends
Choosing unhealthy foods for meals & snacks
Not exercising
All of these issues can lead to long-term physical & emotional problems. Now you can change this future for your child.
BE SMART, EAT SMART uses a family centered approach to weight management.
In an individual setting, I will work with children & their families to understand how to manage weight with nutrition, exercise & behavior management.
With the guidance of the health professional & the support of a positive environment, your child can become physically & mentally healthier.
