Parenting Styles
• 3 Styles of Parenting used by most
parents
• Parents use all styles and will adapt
styles depending on the child’s age or
situation.
Jellyfish
Parents express a great deal of warmth in
parenting but very little control.
Parents believe that the child will learn through
natural interaction within the environment.
Also known as “permissive” parenting.
Brick Wall
Parent expect their children to do what they are
told.
Consequences for broken rules are serious and
implemented without making the situation a
learning experience.
Also known as “authoritarian” parenting.
Backbone
Parents express a great deal of warmth along
with high levels of control.
Parents are democratic in decision making;
however, they still have the final vote on
decisions.
Also known as “authoritative” parenting.
What is an Active Parent?
What is your parenting style? Determine if you are
the brick wall, the jellyfish, or the backbone.
– The backbone parenting style takes a democratic
approach, is active and involved, and many times is the
best approach to use with your preteen.
Nutrition Basics – MyPlate
Nutrition Basics – MyPlate
MyPlate illustrates the five food groups using a familiar meal
visual, a place setting.
Before you or your family members eat, think about what goes
on your plates or in your cups or bowls.
Foods like vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, low-fat dairy
products, and lean-protein foods contain the nutrients your
family needs without too many calories. Enjoy food, but avoid
oversized portions.
Try Some of these tips to help build
a healthy plate!
Tip 1: Make half the plate fruits and vegetables
Eat red, orange, and dark-green vegetables, such as
tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, in main
and side dishes.
Eat fruit, vegetables, or unsalted nuts as snacks—
they are nature’s original fast foods.
Tip 2: Switch to skim or 1% milk
They have the same amount of calcium and
other essential nutrients as whole milk, but
less fat and calories.
Try calcium-fortified soy products as an
alternative to dairy foods.
Tip 3: Make at least half the grains whole
Choose 100% whole-grain cereals, breads, crackers,
rice, and pasta.
Check the ingredients list on food packages to find
whole-grain foods.
Tip 4: Vary the protein food choices
Twice a week, choose seafood as a protein
source.
Eat beans, which are a natural source of fiber
and protein. Keep meat and poultry portions
small and lean.
What are Nutrient-Rich Foods?
Foods that are nutrient-rich provide substantial
amounts of key nutrients in comparison to the
calories they contain.
Examples include: fruits and vegetables, whole
grains, low fat milk products, lean meats,
seafood, and eggs.
