Figure Skater Peggy Fleming Teams with HealthSaver: Raise Healthy Children Through Active Parenting

Date:9/18/2007

Keep healthy snacks readily available in the kitchen and your car for

on-the-go hunger. Pretzels and dried fruit are great choices.

Doctor Knows Best

-- Regular visits give your child's doctor an opportunity to help prevent

and detect disease. Vaccines and immunizations also protect your

child's health.

-- Inform your pediatrician of your child's family's medical history,

including diseases and conditions. This will alert the physician to

any risk factors that may affect your child's health. Also be sure to

tell the doctor about your child's medications and any allergies or

reactions.

-- The most common childhood chronic disease is tooth decay. Schedule

dental checkups twice a year to help prevent cavities. Oral health can

also reveal information about your child's overall health.

Forcing a healthy habit may only serve to discourage your child. Instead, take small steps toward change: add a vegetable to dinner, sign your child up for a new sport, take fewer trips to the drive-thru. Instilling such habits now will secure a bright future. With your encouragement, your children will ease into a lifestyle that will leave them healthier and happier.
