After the introduction to the MITCH program as a whole, the user's guide provides information on the instructor's role, the 3-hour training session, the use of videotapes and audiotapes, and follow-up activities. For this module, goals and objectives focus on providing participants with an understanding of the basic food groups, nutrition risk factors, practices which instill positive attitudes toward food, the importance of eating a variety of foods, correct portion size, the normal development of feeding skills, and feeding problems.
