I teach a parent education class to teen and adult students. I mostly focus on child development, early learning and reading to young children. I would like to teach my students about children's nutrition because I have noticed that many of them feed their young children junk food and pop. I like to introduce topics in a interactive way and not "tell them" what to do. Most of the students are African American young women living in urban communities. The reading level varies from probably second grade all the way up to GED. Does anyone have any suggestions about material to use and also about a positive approach? I also like to do hands-on projects related to the class topic like making a book for your child about healthy food or making a food pyramid to hang in your kitchen - I would also appreciate suggestions about that sort of thing. If you have resources or material to suggest but it does not correspond with the wide grade level that I mentioned, that 's fine because I can always adapt it for the students. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, Helen Campbell Child Development Specialist Blue Gargoyle Family Learning Project
