It's ! We join in supporting, promoting and encouraging healthy habits in children - whether it's nutritional health, physical health or emotional health. Action for Healthy Kids have created a theme for each day this week. While the week has started, it's still not too late to get involved!

Today's theme is 'Wellness Wednesday' and it is all about Physical Activity and Active Play. Some of our team's activity suggestions are:

🚶🏾‍♀️Going on a family walk at the beach or around your neighborhood
🚴‍♂️Riding your bike
💃Having a dance-off at home!

Some other great suggestions for Wellness Wednesday and the rest of the week can be found here: https://www.actionforhealthykids.org/every-kid-healthy-week-resources/
