As a physical education/dance specialist the 10 Strategies discussed in this article regarding children and parents becoming more engaged in their health food choices are right on point with the message in my new children book, “Sweetie’s Healthy Start”. The main character, Sweetie, and her very overweight family learn the lessons of the need for good nutrition, making better food choices and how fitness can be fun.

“The family that plays together, stays together”, is a cliché of sound advice. Research shows that family support is the greatest way to lose the weight and maintain good fitness throughout youth and adulthood. With obesity on the rise in both adults and children, we must be ever vigilant to advocate, educate and activate healthy living for all.
