Let’s help prevent childhood obesity


We can help prevent childhood Obesity –
By sharing with children more fruits and veggies
With the array of fruits in the produce section at the market, you can have a fun time sharing new fruits a week

Children can learn shapes, sizes and the beautiful array of colors fruits come in.
How awesome is that!

Then, of course, there are the health factors, minerals, and vitamins, which fruits and veggies provide that can help lower health complications as obesity and other health problems in children and adults. 

Along with some daily physical activity - exercise regimen such as walking once a day is a start to better health.

How I Found My Monster Kittens [The New Three Little Kittens] Good read for ages 2-8. By Olexity Starr What a cute, funny story tale with some rhyming connections, its colorful simple yet interesting enough to keep a child listening. The monster kittens are not really monsters looking, but cute - that went outside to play alone without letting the boy in the story know. There is a good lesson to learn not to go out doors or anywhere without informing someone an adult, friend, or neighbor.  A good quick read for younger children.
