Help Your Kids Stay at a Healthy Weight

Helping kids build healthy habits can reduce risks of health problems (like diabetes, heart issues, sleep problems) and support lifelong well-being.

  • Eat more wholesome foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins).
  • Be active every day — aim for around 60 minutes of play or movement.
  • Limit screen time and encourage sleep — these support healthy growth.
  • Be a role model: parents eating well and being active help children adopt those behaviors.
  • Work with a doctor: check growth and weight, and talk about healthy weight programs or help if needed.
