How can you help your child to prevent obesity?

Health Tip #1

Stop drinkingsweetened drinks

Get your child to drink

plain water. Make it

a habit!

Health Tip #2

Avoid having meals atfast food restaurants

• Eat more vegetables and

fruits.

• Reduce salt and fats intake.

Health Tip #3

Do not eat snacks after dinner time.

If your child is feeling hungry,

give him/her a glass of plain

water or a serving of fruit.

BigMisconception

My kid is growing, so they need morecarbohydrates in their diet to ensurethat they will grow tall and strong.

Excess carbohydrates become fats in the body. If it

is not ‘burn’ through exercising. This will lead to

weight increase and obesity.

EXERCISE REGULARLY

• Do outdoor exercises, play sports with your kids.

• Do indoor exercises (skipping, stairs climbing, sit-ups, side-steps)

WATCH WHAT YOU EAT• Eat more vegetables and fruits

• Maintain a healthy diet

• Avoid oily and junk food

• Eat what is required and not what your child desires

Healthy KidsBETTER Learners

Let’s work together, school and parents, to bring about a meaningful

and fruitful learning experience for the pupils.

Ralph Waldo Emerson; “Sow a thought and reap

an action; sow an act and reap a habit; sow a

habit and reap a character; sow a character and

reap a destiny.”

The early years of a leaner’s

education have tremendous impact

on his/her adult life.
