Welcome Parents,
Did you know that more and more children are overweight today? This can lead to a lifetime of health problems including diabetes or heart disease. Did you know that most children, regardless of their weight, don’t eat a balanced meal? This can affect their concentration and learning ability in school.
We believe that prevention through early education is the best treatment. Understanding nutrition at a young age will give your children the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy choices throughout their lives.
We acknowledge the key roles both parents play to make an effective learning experience. This is why we create educational products that involve both children and their parents. We want to make it easy for the entire family to work as a team to establish good nutrition at home.
This website is designed to make learning about nutrition and exercise easy and fun for you and your family.
Here are just some of the tools available to help your entire family eat well and get plenty of exercise:
- Children’s Meal Planner; find out how much food your child should eat from each of the food groups
- Children’s BMI calculator; this tells if your child is at a healthy weight
- Agreement sheets; for your family to set specific goals
- Nourish Our Kids: our monthly healthy kids and family nutrition e-newsletter (link to the new newsletter page)
- Kids Pages; kids can learn more about nutrition while playing educational games and engaging in interactive activities
Help your child get a head start by signing your child up for the Chef Solus and the Food Pyramid Adventure Game. Read more about our children’s nutrition game.
