| Parents at the Spencer Borden Elementary School in Fall River
had the chance to talk with Partners Executive Director Dr. David Weed
on March 12, 2015 as part of a Parent Coffee Hour series that has been
offered at the School. Spencer-Borden School Adjustment Counselors
Patricia Davis and Annie Palumbo arranged the sessions along with School
Vice-Principal Taylor Brown to give parents a chance to ask questions
and discuss issues of concern to them. When the issue of children's
nutrition and eating habits came up, Pat arranged to have psychologist
Dr. Weed come to the group to talk. Dr. Weed discussed the concerns that
the parents had and offered two articles: Breaking
Children's Bad Eating Habits and Low
Fat Milk May Not Be As Healthy As You Think to deal with their
concerns about why their children often complain that they don't get
enough to eat at school and arrive home hungry. Dr. Weed also
recommended that they view the on-line video "Fed
Up on the South Coast" to get a better idea of why so many
children and adults are overweight and what some possible solutions
might be. For more information about the session, contact Dr.
Weed at 508-837-9029. |
