Healthy Together: Celebrating & Practicing Whole-Family Health
Use these whole-family activity pages to explore new ways to build healthy habits and take care of yourselves… as a family.
Building healthy habits is a whole-family activity, and the loving relationship you and your child share is such an important factor in their physical and emotional well-being. Print and use the pages in this book to explore new ways to build healthy habits and take care of yourselves… as a family.
Together, try the activities on each page. They’re all child-friendly, of course, and you’ll find that all the strategies work for grown-ups, too! As you go through the pages, you’ll notice that the ideas and activities can inspire your family to do four important things:
- Choose new healthy habits (for instance, choose from a variety of healthy foods).
- “Do and try” new habits (for instance, try a new healthy food).
- Celebrate the choices and efforts you made—no matter how small!—so children feel proud of themselves and the whole family feels good about them (for instance, enjoy the healthy meal you made together).
- Reflect on your choices so you can keep being aware as you make more choices in the future (for instance, talk about another way you’d like to enjoy a similar meal).
