FACTS
Our Fun & Fitness Programmes recognize the fact that movement abilities and motor fittness are mastered during pre-school and elementary years. By developing this programme, we can provide the children with the tools and incentives to battle obesity.
The number of overweight children has doubled among the preschool age over the last twenty years, with some children as young as 8 registering with high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Overweight children can also suffer psychological problems, including; depression and lack of self-confidence.
The British Government announced an investment of £77 Million over the next two years for a National School Fruit Scheme to promote healthy eating and prevent obesity.
LONDON (Reuters Health Jan 04)
Today, 10% of children between the ages of 2 and 5,
and over 15% of children between the ages of 6 and 19 are overweight,
which puts them at risk for heart disease and low self-esteem.
Children learn what they live
If children live with hostility,
they learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,
they learn to be shy.
If children live with tolerance,
they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement,
they learn confidence.
If children live with praise,
they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness,
they learn justice.
If children live with security,
they learn faith.
If children live with approval,
they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance, and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.
