How it works
- The entire family participates in a series of eight, hour and a half sessions.
- Three groups are formed to allow for hands-on, age-appropriate activities at each session
- La Familia—adults
- Los ninos—from 3 to 7 years old
- Los chicos—from 8 to 12 years old
- Every session reinforces four key messages:
- Eat foods from each of the food groups every day.
- Be sensible about portions.
- Be physically active every day.
- Take small steps for success.
- Every session provides experiences and tips that promote:
- Healthier food choices compatible with the lifestyle and cuisine of Latino families.
- Fun physical activities for the entire family.
- Discussion on the concept of “energy balance.”
- Cultural heritage and lifestyle connections to wellness.
