The youngest member of the Glugs is Baby Henry who is well looked after by the rest of the gang. The toolkit includes: 3 colourful story books that transmit messages on what babies may need when they cry; watching TV in moderation; and the benefits of family mealtimes. Let’s Go Shopping - a game that focuses on foods that belong in our shopping baskets. Steps in Growing chart - A wallchart that links babies’ signs of hunger and fullness with helpful tips on foods to try, and play at different stages of development. Balancing Your Plate - A placemat for families that illustrates the appropriate size plate for a toddler and a guide to balancing what the family eats. Family reward charts and stickers - For families to use to encourage themselves to make positive changes. How big is a portion? -  a chart that provides a guide to portion sizes for young children. Food and activity diary - for use with families when it is helpful to have a record of how much a child is eating. Ball and game ideas - to encourage active play from a very young age.

HENRY resources We have developed a toolkit of resources for practitioners and parents. Items include professional handbooks, charts, guides, stories and games. These are provided to everyone attending HENRY courses, and we hope to make them more widely available to others in the near future. The resources include: Tackling child obesity with HENRY - a handbook for practitioners - to purchase online Core training workbook Let’s Get Healthy with HENRY handbook for facilitators Handbook for trainers HENRY toolkit with the Glugs – a full kit of resources for use with and by parents Tuning in to Mealtimes – a DVD for practitioners that demonstrates responsive feeding   The HENRY handbook Tackling Childhood Obesity with HENRY is a core text for practitioners who are encouraging young families to adopt a healthier lifestyle.  It outlines the evidence base underpinning this work, explores the Family Partnership Approach and provides key information. It is provided to all participants attending HENRY courses. The book is due to be published by the Community Practitioners and Health Visitors Association in December 2008, and may be purchased through their website. Tuning in to Mealtimes DVD One of HENRY’s key messages relates to helping parents and carers feed babies and young children in a responsive way, so ensuring that they are not over- or under-fed. The Tuning in to Mealtimes DVD is designed for practitioners, and shows how to tell when a baby is hungry or full, and how to establish mealtimes that encourage healthy attitudes to eating.
