Syllabus

  • Promoting Healthy Nutrition for Infants and Families
    • How can health educators have meaningful discussions with families around nutrition and healthy eating? A careful approach that connects families to strengths and culture can open the door for success. We explore a strengths-based approach, connecting to Native Foodways and Indigenous foods, and four brief techniques of motivational interviewing specific to promoting healthy nutrition choices.
  • Brief Nutrition Basics
    • Everything a health educator needs to know about nutrients, food groups, and making sense out of nutrition facts labels. Also, the importance of moderating sugar intake and answers to some commonly asked questions around sugary drinks.
  • Infant Nutrition
    • Why the first few months of baby's life are critical for establishing healthy feeding patterns. How to tell if a baby is hungry or full? Why breastfeeding is about more than just providing great nutrition. Tips and tricks on starting solid foods when baby shows readiness around 6 months and what caregivers can do to set a powerful healthy eating example (teaching their child to love healthy food and drinks).
  • I Am Me! Baby Personalities
    • Understanding a baby's unique personality traits can help parenting go as smoothly as possible. How can we understand and work with each baby's feeding style? Also, we'll explore caregiver mental health and coping with challenges of parenting.
