March is National Nutrition Month.  With so much going on and now that we have a lot of time home with family, I am am using this time to help my youngest make healthy choices and show her how to carefully cut fruit and vegetables to make yummy nutritious treats.

 

By using this time to make healthier choices, I want to help her develop good habits for make great snacks while we are in the house. Have you heard of Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK)?   

Through grant funding, programmatic support, online resources, and a parent ambassador network, Action for Healthy Kids makes an impact in schools and communities with the greatest need.  According to a national survey by AFHK, 76% of parents say they have improved their own habits based on something their child told them about health and well-being, which is another reason why it’s so important children learn about health and nutrition at school.
