School-Time Strategies to Support Eating Competence

On-demand webinar for professionals by Anne Buffington, MA, RDN, CSSD, CEDRD

When families are adjusting to new school-time routines, it can be challenging for parents and caregivers to manage regular meals and snacks at home while working around busy schedules and extracurricular activities. During this time, the school environment also plays an important role by providing regular eating opportunities which allow for children and youth to receive adequate nourishment and to practice important skills related to eating.

Challenges can arise when feeding practices, nutrition messages, or school wellness policies differ from those used at home. Parents and caregivers may find themselves navigating conflicting approaches and wondering how best to support their child’s eating attitudes, behaviors, and overall relationship with food.

In this webinar, clinicians will learn how to apply the Satter models to address these common concerns and provide practical, evidence-informed guidance to families. Participants will explore strategies for supporting Eating Competence during the school year while helping parents navigate school-related influences in a way that promotes positive eating experiences and healthy development.
