The Problem

Child obesity and improving overall health

Plan of Action

Through education, children will increase activity level and learn about healthy eating using an interactive format that is designed to encourage them to replace unhealthful habits with health promoting behaviors. (ideally to move from knowing to doing it). Getting parents involved by encouraging them to complete healthy challenges in their home. When they do so, they earn an entry in a contest for a one- on one consultation to help them identify ways to meet their personal health goals, personalized grocery store gift card/ shopping tour/meal planning experience, at home meal planning and cook once/ eat thrice demonstration and/or discounted nutrition consultation services and/or offering free & discounts for kids nutrition program. There would be a drawing at the end of the program.
