CD #1 Raising Children to Be Competent Eaters, PowerPoint Parent lecture. Ellyn Satter’s tried-and-true lecture for parents, with four embedded vignettes, handouts. Parents want to know: How can I get my child to eat—dinner, vegetables, drink milk—but not eat too much—or too little! The answer? You can’t get a child to eat. You can only help a child be a competent eater. Vignettes demonstrate maintaining the division of responsibility in feeding, raising a child who feels good about eating, can learn to like unfamiliar food, goes by feelings of hunger and fullness to know how much to eat, and enjoys family meals. Additional materials on managing PowerPoint printed materials.
