Kids Health Mini Course Online

Our Kids Health Mini Course is designed to provide parents, teachers and health professionals with a deeper understanding as to how they can achieve the best health, fitness, and life outcomes for children and youth.

The course covers three big areas in children and youth health development, nutrition, exercise and psychological well being. As you will see, each of these health factors are tightly interrelated, and must be considered in conjunction with one another to truly maximise the health and wellbeing of our youth!

In the nutrition section registered dietician Rachel Barsoum [RB Dietician] provides you with an overview of nutrition for kids. Topics covered include: the basics of nutrition, nutrition requirements for kids, common areas of concern and practical applications of nutrition in the family setting.

Aaron Hoey of JPS delves into the benefits of exercise for younger populations, as well as considerations to make when designing and implementing exercise interventions for various age groups.

Practicing youth psychologist Katherine Gayton of Lift Your Future Psychological provides valuable insight into how we can create a healthy headspace covering sleep, nutrition, exercise as well as other highly important psychological considerations. Such as body image and appearance concerns and how parents and guardians can work with their child to address these in a safe and productive manner.

This course is not just suitable for parents, but any person who works closely with children and youth and may be involved in the child’s development at any stage. Such as teachers, coaches of team sports, child care workers, aunts or uncles or even grandparents!

The overarching objective of our course is to equip these guardians with knowledge and the tools to guide their minor through life in a way that does no harm, and allows them to grow and develop in our weird and wonderful world!

Please note:  The course is completely online and can be completed at your own pace!  You will have lifetime access to the content!
