FREE Sesame Workshop Food for Thought webinar!
Join Sesame Workshop in an interactive session that will provide multimedia tools for family child care providers to help young children and their families cope with the challenges of food insecurity. Families facing this issue may not have enough to eat all the time, and might have trouble affording or getting access to healthy foods. In this webinar, we will provide specific strategies to help family child care providers support these families with:
- ways to create positive experiences around food for children, with engaging key messages that promote basic nutrition;
- language to use when discussing healthy habits and food insecurity with families and children; and,
- guidance on achieving a nutritious, balanced diet on a budget.
During the session, we will explain how the materials in our Food for Thought outreach kit can be used with children and families in fun and educational ways. Additionally, we will provide ideas on how to customize the activities and materials for use with different age-groups and in your own setting.
Sesame's Food for Thought kits were distributed for free to NAFCC members at NAFCC's Annual Conference in 2011. If you do not have a kit, you can download or view the materials online at sesamestreet.org/food; however, you do not need to have a kit to benefit from this webinar.
