Ellyn Satter’sDivision of Responsibility • The Parent/caregiver is responsible for what, when and where of feeding. • The child is responsible for how much and even whether he/she eats
Division of Responsibility You get your points when you put it on the table, not when your child eats it. Back off. Generations of parents have somehow been taught that children don’t like vegetables and generations of parents have created that reality by forcing, enticing, and rewarding their children to eat vegetables. Let your child learn to like vegetables at her/own speed and in her own way. The same goes for you.” E. Satter
Creating our Environment for Learning • Slowing down the temp of your meal. • How do you see this as an important part of family style dining. • How do we set up an “environment” for learning during the family style eating time. • Building Mealtime Behaviors and Enviornments by the University of Idaho http://www.cals.uidaho.edu/feeding/pdfs/BMER.pdf
Make a Vision • Form discussion groups 1. Physical Environment 2. Auditory Mealtime Environment 3. Social Environment at Mealtime 4. Language Environment 5. Emotional Environment
Bringing It All Together • Family Style Meal Service is desired as “best practice” in child care. • Work on your routine slowly. • Use every moment as a teachable moment. • Enjoy yourself during this time of day
Objectives • Workshop participants can describe the basic principles of Ellyn Satter’sDivision of Responsibility • Develop a vision of family style dining at my child care center or family child care home. • Make Mealtimes pleasant and utilize the dining experience for many teachable moments. • Consider the meal time as part of the curriculum and plan accordingly. • Incorporate learning experiences before, during and after the meal.
