When it comes to the overall health and wellness of America’s precious youth, we’ve all seen and heard news that tips either end of the scale. While medical advances like vaccinations and better medicinal and surgical options have decreased childhood death rates, we’ve also seen an increase in childhood obesity and heart health issues.
Motivation & Praise
It’s always an emotional rollercoaster when a child enters their first year of school. For the majority of children, that first year is kindergarten. All kids process the idea of going to kindergarten differently, but one common feeling is apprehension. Going to school is a whole new world, especially for kids who have a stay-at-home parent, and the idea of being away from their parents in a place they are unfamiliar with for a significant part of the day can be scary.
Carpools, cooking, running errands, playdates, working… Life as a parent is pretty busy, to say the least. When you’ve got so much to tend to, it can be hard to squeeze in some time to work out.

Summer break is upon us and that means weeks and months of idle days for our children. Most of them will pass the hours away lounging by the pool, scrolling social media, or finding ways to beat the heat indoors. While a refreshing and welcome relief from the structured school year, summer days often find our sons and daughters feeling bored or lazy. Instead of letting them waste away their vacation, keep them engaged, learning, and active by enrolling them in one or more of the following low-cost summer programs:
