Healthy Eating in Schools : Evidence-Based Interventions to Help Kids Thrive Hardback
by Catherine P. Cook-Cottone, Evelyn Tribole, Tracy, PhD Tylka
Part of the Applying Psychology in the Schools Series series
Hardback
Description
School-based interventions that target obesity in children often have little positive effect and may inadvertently contribute to unhealthy behaviors in the attempt to lose weight. This book provides a conceptual model for understanding both obesity and eating disordered behaviors.
Specifically, it advocates for body acceptance and intuitive eating-a flexible, healthy eating behavior involving awareness of the body's hunger and satiety cues. Within this context, the chapters review evidence-based school interventions in nutrition, self-regulation, exercise, body acceptance, media literacy, and mindfulness.
Guidance is also provided for identifying, referring, and supporting students with emerging eating disorders.
