Workout and weight loss on wheels- for kids

Yesterday was a lot of fun. I was with a group that supported an expo to promote healthy living. I was at a table with a long paper in which kids were asked to use colored markers and draw their favorite fruit and vegetable. The smiles on the cute faces was truly heart warming. The message I got was that if parents make the effort to instill the importance of eating healthy, kids will follow and pass this on. This is harder for kids in wheelchairs who can't open a high cabinet and don't move as easily. It may be easier for a parent to give a candy bar then to prepare celery and peanut butter. Similarly, they may not have time to help their child put on braces and walk across the kitchen. Parents need to see how worthwhile this extra effort will be in the long run.
