Nutritional & Exercise Resources
Healthy Active Living for Families (HALF)
Healthy Active Living for Families (HALF) is a program of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The goal of the project is to partner with parents to encourage healthy habits right from the start. This web site is geared for children birth through age 5 years.
HealthyChildren.org – Nutrition
HealthyChildren.org is the only parenting Web site backed by 60,000 pediatricians committed to the attainment of optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. The specific nutritional choices you and your youngster make are crucial. Good nutrition is essential to good health and the American Academy of Pediatrics encourages parents to think of their nutritional decisions as health decisions.
HealthyChildren.org – Fitness
There’s no scarcity of activities that you can make available to your child, and all kids can find some form of exercise that they enjoy. If you can get your child interested in an activity like this when he’s young, exercise and fitness are more likely to become a habit that lasts for many decades.
HealthyChildren.org – ChopChop Magazine
ChopChop, the fun cooking magazine for kids and families, entices 5-12 year olds with headlines like, ‘Food Fight’, ‘Scrumptious Wordsearch’ and ‘Watermelon Mush.’ But the underlying message is more serious – cooking and eating healthy is an important, lifelong skill. A free copy of the magazine is available at Middleboro Pediatrics.
