Little Bites, Big Steps
Click here to visit the
KERA Ready For Life website.
Your child is growing up and he knows what tastes good to him. Sometimes he will want the foods that are good for him. Sometimes he won't. He will often choose to sit and play at the computer or watch TV instead of being active. His best guide in choosing healthy foods and activity is YOU!
You can guide him by:
- Example
- Providing healthy foods at home
- Setting limits and rules for when, where and what food is offered to your child
- Insisting that TV, video games and computer time are balanced by active time
Remember:
- Obesity in children is now considered an epidemic by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- Activity and eating habits directly affect children's:
- Growth
- Brain development
- Emotions
- Bones and Teeth
- School performance
- Ability to develop friendships
