Along with the Gold Sneaker Initiative, helping provide better food options and wellness options to childcare, Tennessee is also promoting Child Health Week 2016!   

We want you to celebrate this week at home with your family too!
Can you think of some ways to help promote healthy children in your household?


  • Schedule wellness check-ups for you & your children.
  • Make appointments with you & your children's dentist for 6 month screenings.
  • Add more fruits & vegetables to your daily meals.
  • Drink more water and fewer sugary drinks.
  • Encourage family meal time
  • Promote family walks or exercise!
