About This Lesson
Kids are often offered food, beverages and candy as rewards for accomplishments or “good” behavior. It is important for families, schools, and communities to provide kids ample opportunities to develop lifelong habits for better health. If you choose to reward children with food, consider healthy options like an apple, banana, carrot sticks, string cheese, or even low-fat milk. Better yet, focus on FUN rather than FOOD whenever possible! For more ways to encourage healthy behavior, visit http://www.actionforhealthykids.org/
