| 1 | Motivational Interviewing in Pediatric Practice
Aida Miles, MMSc, RD, CSP, LD, CNSD
It is amazing how much my practice has changed since I was trained in Motivational
Interviewing (MI). My interaction with families of overweight children formerly consisted
of taking a quick diet history, pointing out the things that needed to change in the diet,
recommending a type of physical activity, and giving them a booklet (about 15 pages
long). Few people came back for follow-up appointments. I tried to tell myself that it was
because I “equipped them” with all the tools they needed to be successful; however, deep
inside, I knew that most people could not follow all the recommendations I had given
them. |

Aida Miles, MMSc, RD, CSP, LD, CNSD
As my tenure as PNPG Chair comes to a
close on May 31st there is a lot that I can
look back on and be thankful for. This has
been a tremendous year for me, with many
challenges, fun times, busy times, and exciting
times. |

Nancy Nevin-Folino, MEd, RD, CSP, FADA
