Summary

Kids today are gaining more weight, are susceptible to more stress, and are connecting less. What's worse, each of these problems can result in declining health, whether that's an unhealthy weight or an unhealthy attitude about exercise, food, and body image. So where can parents find a whole-person approach that will help them raise healthy kids? Look no further. Healthy Habits, Happy Kids, by health and fitness expert Gregory L. Jantz, shows parents how they can provide a balanced, caring environment by addressing the emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual needs of their children. In four parts, Jantz shows parents how to help their kids SOAR--how to create an environment where kids are supported, optimistic, active/achieving, and responsible. All parents who want to raise healthy kids will want to read this book.
