Book excerpt: Teachers play a crucial role in providing food-and-eating messages to children as part of nutrition education programs that have been instituted nationwide as a way to increase school accountability for the growing problems of childhood malnourishment, diabetes, and obesity. In crafting and conveying these messages, teachers must navigate, and bring together in a locally logical way, government and institution mandates, their personal beliefs and cultural backgrounds, student diversity, and the classroom food environment. This also includes the children themselves, who are of varied weights and sizes and come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and so have a variety of ideas about food. Educators therefore may teach healthy eating in environments that may complement or contradict, as well as call forth, particular messages. While various public health studies have explored the ramifications for child health of particular aspects of the classroom, little research has characterized the enacted strategies by which teachers navigate their complex work environments to actualize healthy eating mandates. For this, ethnographically informed methods are needed. By observing the preschool classes at the SDSU Children's Center and conducting open ended interviews and a data review focus group with teachers and administration regarding nutrition education, this research will begin to fill this gap and it will do so in a way that will aid teachers elsewhere in addressing the contradiction that may exist between what is said and what is done in the classroom.

Download or read book Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is a serious health problem that has adverse and long-lasting consequences for individuals, families, and communities. The magnitude of the problem has increased dramatically during the last three decades and, despite some indications of a plateau in this growth, the numbers remain stubbornly high. Efforts to prevent childhood obesity to date have focused largely on school-aged children, with relatively little attention to children under age 5. However, there is a growing awareness that efforts to prevent childhood obesity must begin before children ever enter the school system. Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies reviews factors related to overweight and obese children from birth to age 5, with a focus on nutrition, physical activity, and sedentary behavior, and recommends policies that can alter children's environments to promote the maintenance of healthy weight. Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The book recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep. In addition to providing comprehensive solutions to tackle the problem of obesity in infants and young children, Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies identifies potential actions that could be taken to implement those recommendations. The recommendations can inform the decisions of state and local child care regulators, child care providers, health care providers, directors of federal and local child care and nutrition programs, and government officials at all levels.

Download or read book Selected Topics on Pre K 6 Health Education written by Cecilia S. Obeng and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses health education for children, particularly for preschool and elementary age children. This area of health education among children is very important because of a recent increase in childhood health problems such as obesity and type-2 diabetes. All chapters are based on research on data collected on the experiences of parents and teachers in childcare/preschools, elementary schools, and on the author's personal experience as a practitioner. The early years are the most important years in a child's life and because of that, preschool health education should not focus on teachers and children only, but should also help parents as well. Based on the scholarly work in the area of health education in the early years, the following recommendations are made: Although teachers see health activities as important, some teachers are focusing on personal health only; educators can do better if they cover physical activity, nutrition, emotional health issues, and other health-related topics in their classrooms. Integrating physical activities in every facet of children's classrooms will help curb some childhood health problems.
