Helping parents make healthy family choices
Posted February 18, 2010
 Parents play a key role in making healthy choices for their children because the earliest decisions regarding food and physical activity occur in the home. But in today’s busy world, it isn’t always easy. Parents and other caregivers need a community of support. So Let’s Move to offer parents the simple tools, support and information they need to make healthier choices for their family. Children learn from the choices they see adults make. If children see parents enjoying nutritious foods and physical activity, they’re more likely to do the same.

Physical Activity
Posted February 18, 2010
Children need 60 minutes of active and vigorous play every day to grow up to a healthy weight.(source) If this sounds like a lot, consider that 8-18 year-olds devote an average of 7 ½ hours to using entertainment media including TV, computers, video games, cell phones and movies in a typical day, and only a third of high school students get the recommended levels of physical activity. To increase physical activity, today’s children need safe routes to walk and ride to school, parks, playgrounds and community centers where they can play and be active after school, and sports, dance or fitness programs that are exciting and challenging to keep them engaged.
