Family Health Enhancement

Children and their families continue to be at the center of our work. Finding fun activities as a family is a great way to instill in your child the benefits of physical activity. The YMCA offers many activities you can do with your family.

Fit Kids...Fit Families

A  prevention and treatment program of childhood weight concerns. The goals are to:      
• Improve Children’s nutritional status
• Enhance Children’s self esteem
• Increase Children’s activity level
• Create life-long healthy habits

By addressing weight concerns early on, parents may be able to prevent social, emotional, and physical health problems. The biggest challenge is finding ways to make what’s nutritious-delicious, and to get kids more active throughout their day.

Who teaches the program?
Professionals including registered nurses, registered dieticians, exercise specialists and professional counselors. In addition, a pediatrician, family practitioner and nurse practitioner provide counsel.

How is the program structured?
Fit Kids...Fit Families consists of group meetings held one night weekly for 12 consecutive weeks. Up to 15 children, between 6 and 17 years old, will be accepted into each session. One adult family member is required to attend each meeting with the child.
For more information call Laura Balkevich at 262.247.1035.
