Source for Parents: Eat Right

General Information:

Eat Right is a website for parents to assist with talking about the topic of obesity with their children. It gives tips on how to start a conversation, how to make it comfortable with both the child and the parents. The website includes scenarios on what to say when their child comments on their own body, for example, “I’m so fat.” Since weight is a sensitive topic it would be important to talk about this to the parents without the children present. During curriculum night while talking about the subject of health you can introduce this website to the parents and even explore it with them.
