Join Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Amy Isabella Chalker for an insightful presentation as she shares her expertise in guiding parents, caregivers, and professionals to foster emotionally and behaviorally healthy relationships with food, self, and others within a family unit. Are you are concerned that your client is developing disordered eating behaviors? Do you hear about frequent power struggles within the family over eating and other issues? Are you aware of a client's eating autonomy being eroded by well-meaning but over-reaching caregivers within the household? Learn how to navigate all this and more during Amy's presentation, designed to provide relevant, applicable, evidence-based information to address feeding struggles in the home and other group environments.
Program Goal
This presentation is designed to help clinicians recognize when feeding issues may be going awry within a family unit and provide practical tools to help correct any imbalances using emotional and behavioral interventions based on evidence-based studies, accepted theory, and clinical practice. Potential positive outcomes of such interventions include a more resilient and cohesive family unit predicated on a clear understanding of care and autonomy, a stronger sense of self among all family members, and a more confident relationship with food as children age.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
-
List 3 responsibilities of parents/caregivers in the SR-Division of Responsibility
- List 2 responsibilities of children in the SR-Division of Responsibility
- Identify 3 ways parents/caregivers may erode a child's eating autonomy
