Parent nutrition workshop
1.
Health Positivity Amandine Lecesne, School Counsellorat Prem
2.
Warning: this workshop WILL make us rethink the messages we’re using!
3.
SELF-REFLECTION QUIZ For your eyes only! Where did you learn about what to eat and what not to eat when you were young? E.g parents, school, religion Name 3 things you like about your body Name 2 things you don’t like about your body Circle how many times you have dieted.
0-1 2-5 6-10 11+ Do you worry about what your child eats? yes/no Do you count the calories in your food? yes/no How would you help your child if they started eating too much or too little?
4.
5.
The reality is that our children often need guidance in order to obtain healthy living. Often, they are prone to craving unhealthy snacks. Or if they are eating healthily, their thinking about their food and their bodies is disturbingly unhealthy. Young girls are more afraid of becoming fat than they are of nuclear war, cancer, or losing their parents
6.
The most important message out of this workshop today is to get away from talking about weight and to talk about health instead, and to do so in a way that actually motivates instead of undermines our children.
7.
We’ll cover what is healthy eating; what it looks like on a dinner plate. And we’ll also take a look at what happens to our children’s perception of their bodies, how to balance that with some positive messages, and how to respond if your child develops disordered eating.
8.
What does it feel and look like?
9.
Brain power!
10.
Food is fuel. It helps us think, it helps us have energy, it allows us to have enough nutrients to supplement our hair, nails, and skin. It supports our mental health. It has lots of value beyond taste and calories.
11.
12.
13.
The good news is, the basic rule about what to feed kids is simple:
14.
Offer choices between two healthy options Less effective More effective
15.
Help them connect the dots between how they feel and what they’ve eaten 3 brownies may taste great at the time, but shortly afterwards, the amount of carbohydrates will cause irritability and sluggishness. If a child skips breakfast, this will also cause hunger pangs and difficulty focusing at school. On the other hand, point out if they ate a veggie omelette and drank coconut water in the morning and felt in good spirits afterwards
16.
Practice the same healthy habits you’re encouraging A 2011 study suggested that the adoption of healthy eating and activity habits by parents had the greatest influence on teens’ weight and lifestyle habits.
17.
Offer variety- eat the rainbow
18.
Support, but don’t police Restricting food or putting certain foods “off-limits” for the purpose of weight loss is not a good idea. Support your teen by making healthy food options readily available and modeling
healthy eating behaviors. If they eat healthily when they’re at home and occasionally eat unhealthily when they are with friends, it’s not a big deal.
19.
Make your house a no-diet zone Calorie restriction from diets isn’t effective. We need to make changes which are sustainable and the best way to do this is to encourage small gradual change to food intake and activity. Here are some of the reasons we really don’t want our children dieting: 1. Depriving the body of energy or nutrients is counter to the development needs of children. 2. While children are feeling hungry and weak from a diet and their brain is not getting its large energy needs met, they are less able to concentrate, reflect and learn. 3. Children may get stuck in a cycle of disordered eating, as each diet leads to weight gain.
20.
Incorporate fun and healthy habits instead Experiment with recipes, try new foods, and involve family members in cooking and meal planning. Find activities which are enjoyable and encourage them because they’re fun and make the body feel better.
21.
https://www.beautythroughimperfection.com/100-ways-kids-will-actually-eat-vegetables/
22.
Exercise for FUN Not everyone wants to go running, play tennis, go to the gym, or get involved with football. However, there are lots of alternatives: Try jumping on the trampoline, dancing, jump-rope,
yoga, boxing, biking, badminton, gardening, etc. The only exercise your children will do long-term is the one they enjoy doing.
23.
Give rewards besides food All too often, we reward good grades, eating nutritious foods, birthdays, etc. with unhealty foods. Move away from rewarding or “comforting” with food. Offer books, coloring books, movie nights, a new bike/trampoline/boxing
gloves, etc… as rewards instead.
24.
Explain it to them and get them involved Kids are brilliant little creatures and can learn things much faster than we can! Too often, we dumb down explanations of why they must do things or exaggerate them (“come on honey, just eat one bit of this yummy delicious broccoli and it will make you super strong!”) Most children respond well to logical and calm introductions to new foods. When we make a big deal out of getting them to try something, they learn that it must not actually be that good or we wouldn’t be making such an ordeal about it in the first place! Put a little portion of the food on their plates, tell them what it is, and answer any questions. Don’t bribe, cajole, or beg. If they ask, explain why the food is healthy and that making good eating choices is important for a healthy body.
25.
Don’t label foods as “good” or “bad” The only “bad” food is the one that gives you food poisoning! Foods are to varying degrees nutritious. Everything from pizza to carrots to peanut butter can be part of a healthy menu.
26.
Let them see where food comes from Many kids grow up with no knowledge or appreciation how how food is grown or raised and how it gets to them. If possible, take your kids to a farm to expose them to a new way of viewing their food. Even better, grow a garden and let them help. They are much more likely to eat what they have grown themselves.
27.
Don’t reward a clean plate Children should be encouraged to “listen” to their own fullness cues and allowed to stop eating when full, even if there is still food on the plate.
28.
We need fats to: 1. help our thinking 2. build healthy hair 3.
create healthy skin 4. support mental health 5. feel satiated
29.
Focus on health, not weight When talking to children, there’s a big difference between healthy and harmful conversations. Research suggests it’s essential that parents make health the focus- not weight or appearance. Parents should also be aware of the way they talk about their own bodies and appearance. Instead, focus on health, health improvements, and the positives that come from adopting
those- like more energy, increased strength or stamina, better sleep, or meeting a physical activity goal.
30.
We’ve covered what healthy eating looks and feels like, but sometimes, our children can be at any given weight (including a seemingly “healthy” one) and yet their thinking about their bodies or their food is seriously unhealthy.
31.
Sometimes, the same food behavior (cutting out sugar, for example), can be an act of self-care or an act of self-hate. Exercise can be an act of self-care or an act of self-hate. We HAVE to take a look at the thoughts and motives behind the behavior to check if the behavior is healthy or unhealthy.
32.
33.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=litXW91UauE There are many reasons we are pushed into seeing our bodies negatively. We regularly physically under-evaluate ourselves, and so do our children.
34.
When children feel like something is wrong with their bodies, they might try and alter those bodies through the food they take in. They might cut out entire food groups (“I’m not eating any carbs”), they may skip meals, they might over-exercise, or they might purge. They might also over-eat or binge on foods, especially ”comfort” foods. These behaviors have rarely anything to do with food itself, and more to do with stress levels, low self-esteem, and seeking validation. So our conversations should revolve around addressing the stress, building up esteem, and offering validation.
35.
If you are concerned about your child’s weight …. do NOT bring it up to them Why: bringing up a teen’s weight or a perceived need to lose weight is often interpreted as something is “wrong” with them and the suggestion
of dieting by a parent appears to have no positive impact on weight loss. In fact, some studies correlate it with weight gain. Furthermore, conversations between parents and teens that focused on weight or appearance (instead of healthy eating habits) were associated with a greater risk of the teen developing unhealthy eating habits.
36.
Instead…. talk about stress levels, changes in mood, changes in relationships Instead of saying: “I’ve noticed you’ve lost/gained a bit of weight and I’m concerned”, open up a conversation by saying: “You seem stressed these days. I’ve noticed that you don’t come to dinners as much anymore and that you seem more worried than usual. What’s been going on?” LISTEN. Nod your head. Don’t interrupt. Don’t try and “fix”. Show that you’re listening by asking for clarification or restating: “so you feel left out, yeah?” “that must be difficult” or “when you say that no one likes you, what’s happening that leads you to feel that way?”
37.
Body talk Avoid being critical of your own or others’ appearance. Even better, avoid commenting on a person’s weight or appearance at all (even positive). Let’s start focusing on character, qualities, and compassion over whether we’re thin enough or attractive enough or strong enough There is so much more value to life!
38.
Calorie Talk “This is rich”, “this is fattening”, ”that has xxx calories”, etc… is triggering to teens who are already obsessing over their food. Foods should be considered for their nutrition,
not just their calories.
39.
From a young age, start making gratitude lists! …. and include things about your body
40.
Tell them that models, actors, K-pop artists, facebook pictures, etc… are fake/tweaked/altered/unhealthy ideals Too often, we compare ourselves to others. Nowadays, kids are being bombarded
by photos of others who are trying to “look good”, by messages from companies trying to sell them the message that they are defective but that this can be fixed at a price, etc. It’s overwhelming. Because our own happiness has a lot to do with how we think we compare to others, evaluating ourselves with images which aren’t even real sets us up for failure. And our children don’t naturally have the perspective to know that they are being set up to feel less than. Not buying into the fantasy, the lure, etc… will help our children gain some perspective.
41.
Stress free meals Mealtimes are not the times for arguments, tensions, or conflict. Abstain from getting involved in power struggles around eating. Don’t nag about eating or not eating. If eating/not eating is about managing stress, nagging will only encourage the behavior.
42.
Offer genuine validation that is non-weight focused “I love you” “You worked hard on that, and I’m proud of you” “You are so kind/curious/understanding, etc” ”Let’s go for a walk together. I want to spend some time with you.” “I overheard your dad talking to family and saying how proud he is about how caring you are as an older sister” “You looked like you had a great time singing on stage. It was fun watching you!” “I’m noticing that you’re making healthy decisions for yourself these days, and it’s really great to see” “It’s great self-care for you to be going to speak to the counsellor/getting
a massage/doing yoga, etc. Is there anything else you’d like to try that I can support you with?”
43.
What to do if you notice or they tell you they have developed disordered eating patterns If you overhear them purging or you know they’re lying to you when they say they’ve already eaten, my first recommendation would be not to address the issue right then and there. You need time to think about what you’re going to say and it’s best to have this type of conversation when both of you are feeling more calm, neutral, and non-judgmental. Set a private time and place to talk. Choose to have these conversations away from the dinner table. Use “I” statements to state what you’ve observed: “I’m not upset with you, but I care about you and I’d like to know what’s bothering you. I overheard you purging. I know that purging
can be a sign of stress. Are there things that have been upsetting or stressful for you?” or “I have noticed that you aren’t eating dinner with us anymore. Is dinner time a stressful time?”
44.
Talk about behaviors not related to food/weight. “You seem more stressed.” “You don’t seem to smile as often anymore”. Remove judgment- there’s no shame in admitting a struggle. Offer support to go and talk to a counsellor; either in school or out of school. Avoid overly simplistic solutions. “Just eat” is not helpful. It can leave the sufferer feeling frustrated/defensive/misunderstood. Remain calm but proactive. Do not jump to conclusions, do not catastrophize, but also do not ignore this issue. Your child needs to be seen. If there is an issue, it’s important to address it. What to do if you notice or they tell you they have developed disordered eating patterns
