The Säjai® Foundation has developed the Wise Kids® curriculum which focuses on the Energy Balance concept to help fight childhood obesity. Simply put: Calories IN = Calories OUT. This simple theme provides a framework for decision-making around smart nutrition and activity choices. It promotes a healthy, life-long approach to staying in balance for good health.
There are three programs available (click on the links for full program description and pricing):
Wise Kids:This program introduces the concept of Energy Balance and explores how it works through lessons about the Food Pyramid, food labels, the importance of activity, and how nutrition and exercise benefit the body. Wise Kids Two:The follow-on to Wise Kids, this exciting second program reinforces Energy Balance with more in-depth explorations of nutrition and activity concepts such as vitamins, water, and bones. Wise Kids Outdoors:A stand-alone program which explains the Energy Balance concept while encouraging children to explore the outdoors and to understand the way nature and the earth live in balance, just like humans.
The program kits come in 30- and 100-child sizes, but we can customize to fit any size group. Contact Amy Rea for more information.
