Involving Parents
We believe that it is imperative to involve parents in
educating children about healthy attitudes and behaviors, particularly those
related to physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco use. That’s why we have developed a section of
Healthy Hearts just for parents so they can learn more about these important
health issues, and so they can get involved by participating with their
child.
From the Parent Information page, parents can
see parts of Healthy Hearts so that they can better understand what their child
is doing and learning while participating in the online module. Additionally, parents can sign up to
participate in the Commit to Get Fit Contest, which is a competition for
classes to strive to complete the most physical activity logs in Activity
Tracker and diet logs in Diet Diary over a three week period.
