Reviews for this Online Course
- i enjoyed the class and understand better for childhood obesity. Posted by maria on 9th Dec 2014
I felt at ease going through the steps of the class. The fact that each section had a small quiz, I loved that. The Quiz seemed to help me retain all about it and understand it. - Thank you Posted by Annitta on 26th Sep 2014
I thought the training was easy to follow and I have a better
understanding of childhood obesity. This helps with dealing
with young children and preparing healthy snacks as well
as making sure they get time ad space for fun physical activities. - Nice class Posted by Kathy on 23rd Jan 2014
I appreciated learning obesity has increased double in children and triple in teens. Also teaching children good habits of eating and excersize at a young age can decrease this problem. - Good training Posted by Katelyn on 17th Jan 2014
The parts of the training that worked best was the quiz section as well as the individual slides. Having someone read them out loud helped as well. - Thank you Posted by Trudie on 16th Jan 2014
Thank you for the chance to learn more about children and being able to provide better care. I really enjoy being able to get the input from the professionals that are available on the Live Chat.
