Parents can be a formidable force for change in schools, especially when it comes to starting health and wellness programs. Ensuring that our kids are eating healthier foods, learning about nutrition, and being more physically active in school not only sets them up to learn lifelong healthy habits but, according to a growing body of research, it helps them be better prepared to focus and learn in class. Studies also show when parents are involved in a child’s education, their children demonstrate higher academic achievement, better attendance, better social skills, better-eating habits, increased physical activity and less emotional distress.
Yet, despite wanting to do what’s best for students’ health, many schools lack the necessary resources to implement health and wellness practices that help students eat better and stay physically active. That’s why Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) has announced a new Parents for Healthy Kids grant just for parents for the 2018-2019 school year. The grants, which are provided through funding from ALDI, are designed for parents, caregivers and parent-groups (e.g. PTAs, PTOs) to lead school-based physical activity and nutrition initiatives and to engage more parents and family members in student and family health.
In the digitally connected world today, it has changed the way kids develop and grow with real-time play and toy experiences. With that, why not combined these two different aspects into one immersive experience that will never be the same. Just in time for the holiday season, Hearts for Hearts Girls dolls, the awarding-winning doll line, has released an all-new interactive app for both Apple and Android. Allow your little girl to step interactively travel into other parts of the world and experience different cultures. Hearts For Hearts Girls’ dolls reflect the lives and challenges of real girls from around the world.
