  Cuando trabajamos la nutrición pediátrica, en específico los problemas relacionados a la ingesta excesiva, o deficiente y monótona de los niños y adolescentes, necesitamos entender las costumbres y creencias del sistema familiar en torno a la alimentación. La alimentación consciente (Mindful Eating) puede permitir a los niños reconectar con la sabiduría natural de sus cuerpos para tomar decisiones adecuadas en torno al comer. También puede ayudar a los padres a recuperar la confianza en que sus hijos pueden comer sana y equilibradamente, sin necesidad de tantas reglas y restricciones alimentarias. 

  
  

  Los asistentes aprenderán:

  • Explorar las costumbres alimentarias en casa
  • Entender las expectativas y creencias que tienen los padres en torno al abordaje nutricional 
  • Enseñar ejercicios sencillos de Alimentación Consciente para el hijo y sus padres

  In the work of pediatric nutrition, particularly the issues related to an excessive or poor consumption of food that some children and teenagers have, it is necessary to understand the family eating habits and beliefs around food. Mindful Eating can help children reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies to make adequate eating decisions. It can also help parents trust their children skills to eat a healthy and balanced diet without too many rules or food restrictions.
  

  
  

   Participants will:
  

  • To explore the Family eating habits
  • To understand the parents beliefs and expectations around the nutritional approach
  • To teach simple mindful eating tips for the child and his family

  Presented by Marsha Hudnall, MS, RD, CD 

  and Sandra Aamodt, Ph.D.

  
  

  As concern about body size continues as a primary topic among those interested in health and well-being, it is essential that mindful eating teachers understand the role of mindful eating in supporting the internal regulation of a healthful weight. Equally important is to recognize weight stigma, which is a driving factor for eating and weight struggles among many people. This presentation will equip mindful eating teachers with understanding, knowledge and tools to help their clients move beyond the thin ideal to make eating choices that truly support their health and well-being.

  
  

  • Participant goals:
    
  • Describe the role of mindful eating in supporting the internal regulation of body weight.
    
  • Identify three ways weight stigma contributes to ill health.
    
  • Explain the self-determination theory that supports the power of mindful eating to help people make discerning choices in the interest of their health.
    

  This program is the last of our Foundations of Mindful Eating webinar series  that are designed to provide a comprehensive introduction provide a foundation in mindful eating principles and practices.

  ABOUT OUR PRESENTERS:

  A registered dietitian nutritionist, Marsha Hudnall, has been a voice of reason and a thought leader for the last three decades in helping women move away from restrictive notions of food and health so that they can better adopt a sustainable approach to eating well. 

  
  

  She has spent the last three decades working to help women give up dieting rules and understand how to truly take care of themselves through mindful eating and living. Her mission is to help women learn to enjoy eating and living well, without worries about health and weight. She encourages women to embrace their love of food, which you might call being a foodie. If so, it’s appropriate because being a foodie means you pay attention when you eat -- a recipe made in heaven for eating well.

  
  

  Since 1986, Marsha has been a part of Green Mountain at Fox Run, the Vermont women's retreat that pioneered the non-diet approach to health and healthy weights. An accomplished writer, she has written hundreds of articles for popular magazines, newsletters and professional journals, and has worked extensively on a national basis to produce curricula and pamphlets to educate the public about nutrition and about the impact of dieting and the diet mentality on eating behaviors, including binge eating and emotional eating. 

  
  

  Long active with several national professional associations, Marsha recently stepped down from the board of the Binge Eating Disorder Association in order to serve as the president of The Center for Mindful Eating.

  
  

  You can find Marsha on Green Mountain's website, which features her writing in articles and on her blog A Weight Lifted. You can also reach her on Twitter @MarshaHudnall and on Green Mountain at Fox Run's Facebook page, or email her at Marsha@fitwoman.com.

  
  

  Sandra Aamodt, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and science writer, most recently the author of Why Diets Make Us Fat: The Unintended Consequences of Our Obsession with Weight Loss. Her talk at TEDGlobal 2013 about why she stopped dieting and started eating mindfully has received over 3.5 million views, and she has published opinion pieces in The New York Times and elsewhere.

  
  

  In collaboration with Sam Wang from Princeton University, she wrote two other books. Welcome to Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys But Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday Life was named Young Adult Science Book of the Year by the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2009. Welcome to Your Child’s Brain: How the Mind Grows from Conception to College was published in 2011.

  
  

  She received her undergraduate degree in biophysics from Johns Hopkins University and her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Rochester. After four years of postdoctoral research at Yale University, she joined Nature Neuroscience, a leading scientific journal in the field of brain research, in 1998 and was editor in chief from 2003 to 2008.

  
  

  In her free time, Sandra loves dancing, truck camping, travel photography, hiking, and cooking. You can reach her via sandraaamodt.com, on Twitter @sandra_aamodt, or at sandra.aamodt@gmail.com.
