  • Parent Tip of the Week

    Help your kids learn how to make healthy food choices.  When watching television together or listening to the radio in the car, ask your children about the products in the ads and how the ads are persuading the audience to buy that particular item. When at the grocery store, take a look at packaging and the placement of different items and discuss how this may make you notice some brands over others.
