Parents
Parents and guardians have the greatest influence over the foods their children eat and the activities they do outside of school. Reinforcement of Eat Well & Keep Moving messages at home increases the probability that the dietary and lifestyle changes students make will become a regular part of their daily lives. The Eat Well & Keep Moving program provides a wealth of suggestions, activities, and materials for family involvement.
