Simple Ways to Promote Healthy Habits for Kids During Every Kid Healthy Week

Hey, parents and caregivers! Did you know that April 24-28 is Every Kid Healthy Week? 

It's a time to celebrate and promote healthy eating, physical activity, and overall wellness for our children. With many of us still dealing with the effects of the pandemic, it's more important than ever to prioritize our kids' health and well-being. 

Let's get started with some tips and tricks to keep your little ones healthy and happy!

First up, let's talk about easy ways to keep your kids active. We know it can be tough to keep them entertained and engaged, especially if you're juggling work and other responsibilities. 

Here are some simple exercises and activities that you can do with your kids, even indoors! 

• Dancing to their favorite songs.
• Setting up an obstacle course in your living room.
• Going for a family walk or bike ride.
• Doing a stretching session together.

Remember, the most important thing is to make it fun and enjoyable for everyone involved. Not only will your kids benefit from physical activity, but it's also a great way to bond and spend quality time together.

Now, let's switch gears and talk about earaches. We know they can be a real pain (literally!), and it can be stressful to figure out what to do, especially if you're worried about exposure to germs. But here's some good news: telehealth can be a great option for diagnosing and treating earaches without ever leaving your home!

Telehealth is a virtual doctor's visit where you can connect with a healthcare provider via phone or video chat. It's a safe and convenient way to get medical advice and treatment without having to go into a clinic or hospital. So if your child is experiencing an earache or other non-emergency condition, consider telehealth as an option. You can book an appointment online through the Impact Member Center, and there are no provider fees for Impact Members.

We hope you enjoy some of these tips and tricks for keeping your kids healthy and happy during Every Kid Healthy Week. We hope this helps, and remember: taking care of your kids' health is always a good investment.

Have some ideas that you already find fun and the kids like? We would love to get your feedback to share with others!
