Parents
Parents set the stage for healthy lifestyles. Making sure kids get 5 servings of fruit and vegetables and enough physical activity are the keys to creating healthy environments that will follow them wherever they go. And, kids can motivate parents to make healthy choices too. Inspiration often comes in small packages and when we work together there’s no telling how healthy we can be!
