Provide task-oriented counseling for the child or adolescent who is ready to change eating behaviors. Increase the child’s or adolescent’s awareness and knowledge of eating behaviors. Encourage the child or adolescent to make behavior changes. Encourage a few small, concrete changes first, and build on those. Support and follow up with the child or adolescent who has changed behavior. Identify and prioritize behavior changes to be made. Suggest changes that will have a measurable impact on the child’s or adolescent’s most serious nutrition issues. Set realistic, achievable goals that are supported by the child’s or adolescent’s family. Identify and address barriers to behavior change; help reduce barriers when possible. “What will you change?” “What goal is realistic right now?” “How and when will you change, and who will help you?” “What could make it hard for you to make this change— money, friends, or family?” “How can you get around this?”
■ ■ sTraTegies for healTh Professionals To PromoTe healThy eaTing behaViors, ConTinued sTraTegies aPPliCaTions/QuesTions Make sure that the behavior changes are compatible with the child’s or adolescent’s lifestyle. Establish incremental steps to help the child or adolescent change eating behaviors. Encourage the child or adolescent to commit to behavior changes with contracts. Give the child or adolescent responsibility for changing and monitoring eating behaviors. Help the child or adolescent obtain family and peer support. Don’t expect the child or adolescent to conform to rigid eating behaviors. Keep in mind current behaviors and realistic goals. For example, have the child or adolescent reduce fat consumption by changing the type of milk consumed, from reduced-fat (2%), to low-fat (1%), to fat-free (skim) milk. Discuss nonfood rewards (incentives) to help the child or adolescent focus on changing eating behaviors. Stress the importance of planning how the child or adolescent will make and track changes in eating behavior. Make record-keeping simple, and review the plan with the child or adolescent. Discuss how the child or adolescent can encourage parents and peers to help. Meet with parents to clarify goals and action plans; determine how they can help. Provide nutrition education or counseling to parents, as appropriate. 67 Bright FUTURES Nutrition Tools
