I’ve been writing about Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative to fight childhood obesity. Rubberecycle supports these efforts and encourages parents to take their kids to the park this summer. There are parks for children of all ages — including a video game park — which I’ll write about in a future post. The idea is to help your children be more active. They’ll sleep better, be happier and more fit.
Here are some ideas to help families make healthy food choices and choose ways to encourage physical activity:
- Launch a city website with information for parents on healthy living.
- Create a healthy food promotional campaign, and offer a “healthy eating” designation to restaurants who offer healthier food and beverages and reasonably-sized portions.
- Form a community coalition tasked with identifying local barriers to healthy living.
- Promote local community organizations that provide access to healthy activities.
- Through public service announcements and community events:
- Serve as a role model in your own community by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
- Encourage parents to become healthy role models for their children.
- Encourage parents to help children get off to a good start by promoting breastfeeding.

I think it’s a great idea for children to go to the parks! But parents should make sure the children are safe there. If you want your kids to run around make sure the surface is safe in case they fall. Like the Rubber Mulch Playground surfacing in neighborhood park is great! Also kids should always have there shoes tied and sun tan lotion is a must!
We give lunch to our employees everyone once in a blue. We always try to have some vegetable platters!I try to eat healthy but it’s hard when you see those huge ice creams and your dieing of heat!
In order to encourage my children to go outside and play i’ve installed a new play area in my backyard. I put down rubber mulch in a bright red, adding color and fun to their day. We have to get children out the house and onto the swings and making sure they exercise daily. By doing this it will teach their friends to do the same, keeping the future American generations healthy. .
Don’t let your kids sit in front of the TV all day- make sure they get out and get some exercise.
