The guide provides a 7-phase program designed for children in after-school settings.
The Guide's activities are child-driven, and are aligned to national education
standards. The activities provide opportunities to develop strategies and new
media content based on the 8 Habits of Healthy Kids.
The 100 page, "A Parent's Guide to Healthy Eating and Physical Activity" is
a
tool for parent advocacy based on
the
8 Habits of Healthy Kids.
The Packet is specifically designed for children, ages 9-14, and focuses on each
of the 8 Habits of Healthy Kids. Comprised of both Fact Sheets and Did You Know?
Sheets, the packet provides the information necessary for the children to design
media messages.
The parent program is designed to assist parents to become leaders/advocates for
healthy eating and increased physical activity for their families, schools and
communities.
The series of 9 parent postcards was developed based on the 8 Habits of Healthy
Kids to include individual habit cards with suggested family healthy behaviors.
The parent postcards comprise the parent participatory component of the child's
program.
