Parent involvement:

Helping your child understand the impact on themselves and others with the choices that they make. You can help your child’s understanding of this unit by discussing their daily routines and how they care for themselves. Encourage them to talk about the different ways they can lead a healthy lifestyle. Help them think of positive and negative choices they have made and what the outcome was. Ask them questions such as: What food can we eat a lot of/a little of? Why? Did you make any big decisions today? Did your choice affect anyone else? How can we stay fit and healthy?
