Younger children can see the classes from the babysitting area and can participate in the family games. A pre-test is given to assess knowledge of the causes of obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

BMI’s are calculated. The topics of the first 5 weekly classes are:

  • Sugar beverages
  • Physical activity
  • Portions, balanced meals, label reading
