You want your kids to be healthy and to feel good about food. But with social media, sport culture and conflicting advice everywhere, it’s hard to know what to say, what to do or what’s normal. Our parent session, run live online or in person at your school, gives families clear, practical guidance from dietitians who work with young people every day.
Social media, sport culture, AI chatbots and well meaning relatives all have an opinion on what teenagers should eat. At every school we visit, parents tell us the same thing: "I don't know what to believe, and I'm scared of saying the wrong thing."
students skip breakfast at least occasionally, and around 1 in 10 regularly go to school without it.
of young Australians say social media has a negative effect on how they feel about their bodies.
young people say body image concerns have stopped them going to school at some point.
Large studies of families with teenagers show that how parents talk about food matters as much as what is on the plate. None of it needs perfect meals. It needs parents who feel confident.
A session with students only goes so far if they hear something different at the dinner table. That is why Fuel Your Potential brings students, staff and parents into the same conversation.
Year level workshops on energy, focus, sport and cutting through online noise.
Staff training so food and body talk is safe and consistent across the school.
This session. The same evidence and language, so it carries on at home.
No food rules, no meal plans and no shame. Just the things that make the biggest long term difference, explained by dietitians who do this every day.
Energy, growth and brain development through childhood and adolescence, and why regular meals matter more than perfect ones.
Simple swaps that move away from good and bad food talk and keep comments off bodies, without walking on eggshells.
Supplements, protein powders, food trends and influencer advice. What is worth knowing and what to ignore.
The early signs worth noticing, how to start a calm conversation and where to go for support. Early help makes a real difference.
Shared meals, role modelling and trusting kids to listen to hunger and fullness. The handful of things that matter most.
Breakfast that actually happens, lunchboxes, after school sport and study snacks that keep energy steady.
Most parents already know what to put on the plate. What they want is the words. Here are three of the swaps we cover.

She’d started saying certain foods were ‘bad’ because of something she’d seen on TikTok. The session gave me the words to talk about it without turning it into an argument. She actually listened.

Our whole school program for Years 7 to 12. Student workshops, teacher resources and a parent session, all carrying the same evidence based message.
Yes. Many schools start with a parent session, and plenty pair it with student workshops through Fuel Your Potential so families and students hear the same message in the same term.
Both work well. Live webinars make it easy for working parents and regional families to join from home, and come with a recording. In person seminars suit schools with a strong parent evening culture or a student program running the same day. We are happy to help you choose.
Yes. All content is eating disorder informed. We never discuss weight, calories or restriction, and we cover how to respond if you are worried and where to find support. If your community has particular sensitivities, we are happy to talk them through before the session.
For webinars, schools receive a recording to share with families. Every school also receives a take home parent guide after the session.
We recommend separate sessions because the questions are so different, but for K–12 schools we can run a combined session with a tailored split.
Yes. Webinars run anywhere in Australia, and we deliver in person seminars across the country by arrangement.
It depends on format and whether it is part of a wider program. Fill in the form and we will send a tailored proposal within one business day.
