I have such a passion on this subject. We use rewards charts in our house. The kids have a healthy chart that has a pocket for veggies, fruit, protien and exersize. Each time they eat something from one of those categories they move a token into the reward pocket, and each time they do a physical activity such as playing outside, helping around the house or exersize they get an exersize token. They turn in what they have earned at the end of the day and they earn game coupons that allow them time to play playstation or on the computer. They also get one treat ticket to use each week, they usually choose to buy ice cream one day at lunch with it. Its been a great motivator for them and they are learning to read food labels in the process and staying active! I think education is the best tool we can give our kids so they can make healthy decisions as they grow up. Keep up the great work, you continue to inspire Sean and I! I absolutely agree!
