Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. Start Online Workshop

This post is our honest review of a product that we received for free. All opinions expressed are solely mine.

As parents we all want to give our kids the best advantages, and that includes ensuring that they are receiving a proper nutrition. With busy schedules and hectic homeschool days it can be SO easy to rely on a drive-thru meal on the go or grabbing a pre-packaged meal. If you’ve been looking for help in changing your family’s eating and activity habits, Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. Start Online workshop would be a great online tool to consider.

Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. Start Online workshop is a complete curriculum-based workshop that touches on the four pillars of health: Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition (L.E.A.N.). In this workshop, families with children ages 3-12  will learn how lifestyle, exercise, attitude and nutrition choices can affect the health of those in their family. During the 6 session online course, you will learn about portion control, the benefits of breakfast and healthy carbs, food label reading techniques, fast food facts, the importance of protein, how fun play can affect children and more.

The L.E.A.N. Online Workshop Format

Each of the six online workshop segments includes:

• self-paced and include recorded narration, videos, graphics to help you remember
• snack ideas and activities to go-along
• short quizzes to check your learning
• pdf downloads for reference and note-taking
• family challenges and more

The sessions are each about one hour in length, but you can pause them at any point and return later to finish it {great for busy moms!}. Sessions can also be viewed multiple times during the 8 week timeframe that your workshop is available via your desk-top, lap-top or your iPad.

Prior to each session viewing, participants can print a copy of the session worksheet to jot down any notes on the topic. Each worksheet includes a healthy recipe idea and space to write a weekly goal along with answers to any discussion questions from the session.

Get the whole family involved with Family Challenges

At the end of each session there is a family challenge that gives you ideas and an opportunity to put the workshop session into practice at home. Much of this e-course fit in with things that we were talking about in science with our younger two, so it was a great addition for us.

In the image above, you’ll notice a peek at the challenge for week 1 – Traffic Light Eating. In this challenge the family takes local grocery store sales flyers, cuts out food items from the flyers and then sorts them as a green, yellow, or red light food based on what was learned in the weekly session. This activity is a great hands-on and visual tool for identifying foods that are a ‘go’ {green light}, foods to be careful with {yellow light}, and food to rethink and see if there is a better alternative {red light}.

Essentially, the family challenges are a great way to get everyone in the home involved in the learning process. As you involve your kids, especially with hands-on activities, they will internalize the concepts more quickly and remember them in the future.
