Many kids today are growing up at risk of chronic disease, such as heart disease and diabetes, but building healthy patterns early in life can make a big difference for their future health. This collaboration helps families build healthy routines around nutrition, physical activity, and sleep at an early age, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits. The program uses a combination of research-based multimedia resources featuring global Sesame Street friends and in-person community outreach for children and caregivers. Reducing the risk of chronic illness starts with everyday behaviors at home, especially for children, and providing the right support can lead to better health outcomes in the future.
