Good nutrition is always important, but it’s especially significant for growing kids. When it comes to taking care of little ones, prepackaged toddler foods can be tempting with their instant, no-fuss nature. But what if those foods came with a hefty sodium level that could potentially affect your child’s health? More
Kids can be sometimes be surprising in how considerate they are. Children often get credit for being innocent and nonjudgmental and funsies and yadda yadda, but it’s rare that people recognize just how sensitive kids can be towards the happiness and wellbeing of others. More
A school district in California is doing a great thing: They are including yoga classes into the schedule for the kids to get some movement, stretching, and focus before diving into their studies. The problem is, a group of parents want yoga banned from school because they believe it teaches hinduism (which, for the last time, it does not). More
Most of the time when we see kids who overeat, our concern is for their weight and their overall health as a child and a young adult.

Is it absurd that Bethenny Frankel is talking about how her toddler daughter “decided” to become a vegetarian? It seems absurd to me. Franklin says she and 2-year-old Bryn Hoppy will be having a turkey-free Thanksgiving because the little girl does not eat meat. More

We all know that childhood obesity is on the rise. And one would think that adding more sports and physical activity programs at school and after school would help reduce that. But according to a new study, it’s not. In fact, not only are these programs failing to help kids maintain a healthy weight, they are failing to get them moving at all. How can that be? More
Amid mounting pressure from consumer groups and food policy researchers, the makers of kids’ cereals have finally started cleaning up their act–but not enough. According to a new report by Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity, cereals made and marketed for children have reduced the amount of added sugar in their products, and added in more nutritious ingredients, like actual whole grains. Unfortunately, despite what the cereal companies and their allies will tell you, there’s still a fundamental difference between “better” and actually “healthy.” More

Childhood obesity isn’t the only reason that schools need to quit shaving off time set aside for PE and recess. According to yet another study on the subject, good grade and exercise go hand-in-hand. Swedish researchers found that student who exercise are more focused, perform better, and are more likely to be ready to move on to the next grade than kids who don’t. And yet, the vast majority of students come nowhere near meeting their daily exercise requirements. It’s time for schools to catch up and get kids moving. More
