Family Counseling: Childhood Nutrition

Learning objectives:

• Motivational Interviewing and Patient-Centered Counseling techniques including Reflective Listening and Sustain Talk
• Listening to patients and families with empathy and help them work through their reasons for and against change
• Supporting patients and families in addressing obstacles and creating change plans they're motivated to follow

Research shows that with experiential practice, increased emotional engagement and reflective thinking leads to stronger self-efficacy and behavior change.
