The Coalition of Angry Kids (COAK) is speaking out and it is time for parents to get unplugged, get up and listen!
September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, and people are saying that 1 in 3 of children are overweight or obese. What about the parents?
An open letter from COAK:
Who are you calling obese?
We heard that September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.
And people are saying that 1 in 3 of us are overweight or obese. They even use that weird word—EPIDEMIC—when they’re talking about us kids.
“Eat healthy.” “Go run around outside.” “Turn off the screens.” We hear those things a lot, too. Well, Mom and Dad, can you help us out here? We need more than reminders and threats. We need good examples.
We’re in this together, so let’s fix it together.
If you want us to eat less junk food, then let’s eat better together. If you want us to play an hour a day, then come out and play with us.
That sounds like a healthy solution to us. How about you?
Sincerely,
Coalition of Angry Kids
