Healthy Nutrition Parent Learning Session at Working Women Community Centre

Healthy Nutrition Parent Learning Session at Working Women Community Centre

A Healthy Nutrition (children 6 to 12 years) parent learning session was held by pediatric residents from the Hospital for Sick Children on August , 2017.

Six pediatric resident doctors held a parent session within the Parents Matter project at the Working Women Community Centre. Doctors sat with groups of parents and discussed how to foster children’s healthy eating habits. Parents had the chance to communicate with pediatric doctors outside the clinic environment which made them express their satisfaction and happiness about having enough time to discuss and ask doctors questions about healthy and unhealthy eating habits of their children 6 to 12 years old.

Children also were accompanied by a pediatric doctor and had the opportunity to learn about healthy eating through reading and discussing stories.
