    RATIONALE

    Promote access to and participation in school breakfast and lunch

    The percentage of obesity is over 20% for children aged 6 to 11 and over 21% for adolescents aged 12 to 19. Children who have obesity are at higher risk of having obesity as adults. School is an ideal setting for children to learn and practice healthy eating (CDC 2022a).

    Offer physical education to increase students’ knowledge, skills, and confidence to be physically active

    About one-fourth of adolescents get the recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity. CDC Healthy Schools recommends that schools offer students multiple ways to be physically active, which will help them build healthy habits for a lifetime (CDC 2022a).

    Promote better sleep patterns

    Sleep is increasingly recognized as a component of good health. Children who don’t get enough sleep are at increased risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, attention and behavior problems, poor mental health, and injuries. Children aged 6 to 12 need 9 to 12 hours of sleep a night. Teens aged 13 to 18 need 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night (CDC 2022a).

    Support social and emotional learning

    Social and emotional learning can help children and adolescents develop the skills they need to recognize and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, appreciate the perspectives of others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. A positive social and emotional climate at school enables students to develop these skills (CDC 2022a).

    Vision and hearing screens are health maintenance activities. Health maintenance includes screening procedures, risk assessment, early intervention, and prevention activities. Receiving recommended immunizations is an example of a preventive care measure.

    FOCUSED GUIDE

    Although all of the responses are positive actions encouraged for Khloe’s current and long-term health, there are only four that are health promotion activities: Promote access to and participation in school breakfast and lunch, offer physical education to increase students’ knowledge, skills, and confidence to be physically active, promote better sleep patterns, and support social and emotional learning. These are additional activities that can be encouraged at home and at school.
