| | that over 75% of illness and disease is caused by diet and lifestyle and the time to learn and apply healthy habits for life is during childhood.
Many children face special challenges when it comes to learning and applying healthy eating habits that can help them lead healthier lives. To assist children in making good food choices we offer nutritional coaching services. Objectives of the children's nutritional coaching programs are:
1. Evaluate a child's eating habits to establish their current nutritional status 2. Through interactive learning, teach children how to make good food choices 3. Develop a nutritional improvement plan of action for parents to apply at home 4. Monitor the child's progress to achieve desired results
Evaluate the child's eating habits The first step in moving your child towards better eating habits gaining a solid understanding of where the child is at currently with their food choices. First, we gather a list of the child's current food choices using a 5- 7 day food journaling process. Second, we’ll analyze the results and develop an education action plan. Included in this session is a discussion with parents of the wellness objectives for their children.
Teach children how to make good food choices Through interactive learning and object lessons, we assist children in learning the difference between healthy foods and unhealthy foods We then apply the learning by doing age appropriate activities to reinforce good eating choices.
Develop nutritional plan of action Once the child and parent have a solid understanding of good food choices, it’s now time to put a plan into action! A list of recommendations is developed that includes:
1. Healthy alternatives to the child's current food choices 2. A compilation of recipes that are both healthy, easy to make and kid friendly
Monitor the child's progress The application of what we learn is what helps us achieve our desired results! In this module, we offer the following options:
1. Trip to a local grocery store to help children discover where healthy foods are located. 2. Additional coaching to overcome an child's lifestyle obstacles to better nutrition 3. Ongoing coaching and follow up per parent's request (additional fees apply)
