Healthy child

Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives
 

Childhood is a good time to start encouraging healthy habits to help to improve your child’s quality of life in the future.

Our vision for the future is one where every child grows up with a healthy weight, through eating well and enjoying being active. In the early years, this means as many mothers breastfeeding as possible, with families knowledgeable about healthy weaning and the feeding of their children.

As children grow, parents will have the knowledge and confidence to make sure that their children eat healthily and are active and fit. All schools will be healthy schools, and parents who need extra help will be supported through children’s centres, health services and their local communities.
