When children learn the importance of good nutrition and exercise, they often become very proactive in taking care of their health. I have weekly Healthy Family Parties designed to equip and inspire children to go against the unhealthy tide of our society and commit to good stewardship in the area of eating and physical activity. I can provide this in my home or anywhere you'd like.
These events follow the following format:
- I talk a little about why we need antioxidants in our diet, what they are, where they are found, and how they protect the body from disease. I tell an interactive story. (Click here to view.)
- The children go into an adjoining room and play Traffic Light Eating (click here to view the PDF) while the moms (dads welcome also) watch Dr. William Sears’ 9 Simple Steps to a Healthier Family Diet DVD (12 minutes).
- I share information about a form of concentrated fruits and vegetables available in a capsule, chewable, or gummie that Dr. Sears and many other widely known physicians recommend. There is no obligation to buy.
Parents frequently find their children very motivated by what they learn and empowered to lead the family in making healthy choices. Oftentimes, when the lessons being taught at home are reinforced by a health professional, it increases the effectiveness.
Call or email if you’re interested or have any questions. Refreshments will be served.
