How can we involve parents and other caring adults with Game On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge?
Getting parents and other community members involved is essential to the success of Game On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge. Parents and other caring adults need to understand the core concepts behind making better food choices and moving more. They need to be reminded that they serve as crucial role models for children. When they model healthy behaviors, they encourage children to make better food choices and move more. Sharing information about the connection between healthy eating, physical activity and overall health increases the likelihood that students will get positive reinforcement at home. At the same time, Game On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge offers a unique opportunity for schools to build lasting partnerships and engage more people in supporting school-based wellness efforts. As the larger community joins you in this challenge, you’ll be more likely to create and sustain long-term change. Communicate with families and community members throughout the entire challenge
