Kids’ Corner gives school-aged kids access to various resources to help them promote their parents’ health and fitness. Typically, when people think and talk about family health/fitness issues they focus on how dads and moms affect their children—do they help their kids eat well or do they regularly let them eat junk food? Do they encourage their kids to be active through exercise and playing sports or do they let them sit around the house watching TV or playing video games?   Do they try to monitor their kids’ risk-taking behavior or do they ignore what their kids do that puts them at greater risk for illness and injury? 

Kids’ Corner
 recognizes that there are two sides to the parent-child relationship.  A child can also influence how a parent personally approaches health and fitness issues.  Does a child remain silent about his father’s/mother’s unhealthy smoking and drinking habits or does the child try to get his or her parent to adopt a healthier lifestyle?  Does a child keep quiet about a parent’s poor eating habits or does the child voice concern and encourage healthier ways of eating?  Does a child remind a parent about risk taking behaviors involving helmet and seat belt use, sunscreen, handling of guns, and more or does the child avoid those types of discussions?
