An elementary school nutrition education program at the Warm Springs Indian Health Service was successful in decreasing the rate of childhood overweight and obesity. One of the primary resources used was How to Teach Nutrition to Kids!

The purpose of this book is to give educators, nutrition professionals, parents and other caregivers the tools they need to teach 6- to 12-year-old children about food and nutrition in a meaningful and integrated way. My hope is that children will learn to enjoy a variety of healthful foods, find pleasure in physical activity and feel satisfaction in their growing, developing bodies. - Connie Evers, MS, RD
