[Health_Education_Promotion] Section Meeting 7/14/11- A Child*s Weight: How to Help without Harming

[Alissa G LEAVITT]

Hello OPHA Health Education & Promotion section members! I hope you can
join us for our meeting next month. We will have an excellent guest
speaker joining us. Dana Sturtevant, dietitian and trainer in
Motivational Interviewing, will discuss Ellyn Satter*s approach to
working with families around food/weight concerns:  Provide, don*t
deprive, then trust your child to grow up to be the size and shape that
is right for him or her. See Dana Sturtevant's bio and the learning
objectives for her presentation below. 
 
What:A Child*s Weight:  How to Help without Harming

Participants will:
·         Review the two major causes of child overweight from Satter*s
perspective:  1) misinterpreting a child*s normal size and shape and
labeling it overweight and 2) imposing food restriction

division of responsibility with regards to feeding and activity

and constructive discussions with families about health behavior change
