Active Healthy Families for Parents

Active Healthy Families is for parents or caregivers who want to give the children in their lives a healthy start!   How families eat has changed - fast food isn’t a special treat anymore, it’s a regular part of most kids’ lives. Today many children drink far more soda pop than milk, and eat more chips and cookies than vegetables. 
 
One in three children is overweight, but parents have the power to make positive changes!  The Active Healthy Families videos and materials can give you the knowledge to make healthier food choices and keep kids active.
 
If your child is in childcare, your childcare provider plays an important role in their health. Talk to your provider about what they are feeding your child and how much physical activity your child receives. Encourage your childcare provider to complete our free Nutrition Certificate Program  and to follow our Active Healthy Families Childcare Policy.
