Eating Well
Teaching kids to eat healthy is easier than you might think. A balanced diet involves eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, planning easy and healthy meals, and buying or preparing budget-friendly foods and snacks.
Autism
All children experience the world differently, and those differences are even greater for children with autism. As a parent or caregiver of a child with autism (or as someone who knows a person with autism), your understanding and support can help ease daily challenges…while celebrating the uniqueness of all children.
Learning through play
Children love to play—anytime, anywhere, and with almost anything. As they do so, they’re exploring the world around them and practicing important skills crucial to brain development. Consider the relationship between play and learning as you play together!
