Learn about the new Collaboration for Health, Activity, and Nutrition in Children’s Environments (CHANCE) curriculum titled: Healthy Children, Healthy Families: Parents Making a Difference! (HCHF), from CHANCE program leader, Tisa Hill. The curriculum was developed and tested at Cornell Cooperative Extension sites across New York State with input from educators and parents. Implementation of HCHF in conjunction with supportive changes in the environments where children live, learn, and play has been shown to support and encourage healthy habits and contribute to reduce chronic disease.
The CHANCE Program, with the new HCHF curriculum, has proven successful
in improving consumption of healthy food, increased physical activity, and
improved parenting behaviors among the first 315 low-income parents completed
the curriculum. This webinar will outline the HCHF curriculum as well as
highlight its areas of greatest impact including: reduced soda intake; increased frequency
low-fat dairy, fruit, and vegetable consumption; increased physical activity
among children; and increased availability of fruit vs. non-nutritious snack
foods at home.
