Changing behaviors

¨ Shaming does not work

how do we make a positive change behaviore change is imporant, we are looking at aeating and exsersise, we also want to ge parents envolved, juse creating that healther life style in genral for everyone involved. so school nutration can be a part of eating behaviroes, but the school food can be bad. what ca schools include in there meals or how can they natully make food for that large group of students.for exercise how do we include recess or ficical activity in the learning envirment. we are here at 8 hourse a day, we might do somthing active . and overall shaming does not work. so taking that away from the coversation about these obesity an health. we should also get kids aware of what they are doing
