Childcare Centers and Corporate Wellness

Child Care Centers

Your child care team is too busy teaching and nurturing to spend energy and time coaxing picky eaters, pushing food or wondering how to deal with unusual feeding situations or parent requests.

Family Feeding Dynamics can perform a needs- assessment and conduct an on-site workshop with your staff to review nutrition, normal stages of food acceptance, the science behind picky eating, and give concrete tips for a more pleasant meal experience for staff and child alike. Learn strategies to make your work easier, not harder, and feed according to “best practice.”

Recognizing that parent buy-in is critical to the child’s overall success with eating, we offer reduced-rates for your parents in either pre-scheduled workshops or scheduled privately by interested individuals.

“Our professional staff felt very positively about Dr. Rowell’s workshop and will be applying her suggestions when parents question children’s eating habits. We would recommend her workshop to other professionals.”
- Phyllis Ettinger, Director Children’s Country Day

Corporate Wellness

Bring Dr. Rowell in for a lunch and learn or as part of a wellness series for her popular “Feeding 101″ or “Family Meals: bring peace back to the table,” with concrete tips for picky eaters and ending the power struggles.

Why? Two out of three parents of preschoolers seek help for feeding concerns, from picky eating to weight and nutrition worries, and many children don’t just grow out of it- with four out of ten families of school-aged children preparing separate foods for their children. Most families are struggling and are missing out on the best predictor of a child’s success, regular and enjoyable family meals.

During these fun and interactive workshops, parents will learn strategies that go beyond the obvious. Learn how to feed– the key to peaceful mealtimes and improved nutrition and healthy weight. Learn why feeding with an agenda backfires and come away with concrete strategies to reclaim the family table. With a focus on children from late infancy to school-age. Ample time for questions and discussions. Other topics include but are not limited to: Tweens, feeding and body image; Feeding and talking about food when you worry about weight.
