🌟 GIVEAWAY! 🌟
We want to celebrate childcare providers who are helping children develop healthy habits!
🦷 Let’s Make Every Sip Sugar Smart! 🥤
Healthy smiles start early! Home childcare providers and centers play an important role in helping children build healthy habits that can last a lifetime. One simple place to start? Cutting back on added sugar—especially in drinks.
Try these Sugar-Smart tips:
✔️ Offer water throughout the day
✔️ Choose plain milk instead of flavored milk
✔️ Limit sugary drinks and sweetened beverages
✔️ Avoid letting children sip sugary drinks throughout the day
✔️ Make water the go-to drink for hydration
Like, comment, AND share this post for a chance to be entered into a random drawing for a special prize from Association of Child Development and Delta Dental! Four winners will be chosen on Monday, August 17.
💬 Comment below: What is your favorite way to encourage children to choose water?
Together, we can help make healthy smiles and healthy habits a part of every child’s day!
