HEALTHY GRANDFAMILIES WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1: Healthy Kitchens gives grandparents ways to make smart, healthy choices
at the supermarket, and to buy, eat, and cook more fruits and vegetables.
Workshop 2: Healthy Messages features ways to interact with grandchildren about
healthy eating using positive messages. It demonstrates ways, for example, to offer
more low-fat milk products and water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages that children
often want/crave.
Workshop 3: Healthy Portions provides grandparents with easy, fun ways to reduce
portion sizes served to grandchildren and themselves by using smaller plates, bowls
and cups. The ABCs of Reading Food Labels is also part of Workshop 2. Healthy positive
messaging is also a part of this session.
Workshop 4: Healthy Screen Time helps grandparents and grandchildren get up off
the couch to reduce their grandchildren’s TV and computer/video screen time and
engage in fun alternative activities. Healthy positive messaging is also a part
of this session.
Workshop 5: Healthy Activities focuses on how to get grandchildren to increase a
variety of healthy physical activities. It also provides helpful tips on adequate
sleep time for their grandchildren. Healthy positive messaging is also a part of
this session.
Workshop 6: Healthy Eating In and Eating Out shows how to prepare easy, quick healthy
recipes at home and how to order healthy foods and beverages when eating out. Healthy
positive messaging is also a part of this session.
