Raising Kids: Healthy Nutrition, Exercise, and Weight

present

RECHARGE ACHIEVEMENT AWARDSTo recharge a battery, you just plug it in. Recharging your child typically takes a lot more effort. When your child could benefit from a nap or simple rest, it’s probably pretty easyfor you to recognize -- but not at all easy for your child. There are also times your child has had plenty of rest but is sluggish. Then it may take some extra energy from you to encourage him or her to get moving to revive instead of giving in to the desire to just sit. Use these colorful awards to help motivate your child to take time to rest and recharge. You can print certificates and ribbons for achievements like these:

•Followingtheirbedtimeroutinewithoutastruggle •Takinganap--willingly •RestingquietlywithouttheTVon.(TheTVdoesn’tallowthebraintorest.) •BeingactiveinsteadofwatchingTV

Ribbons. You can cut out ribbons and safety pin or tape them to your child’s clothing.Let your child wear the award all day.
