It is SO important to be a Healthy Role Model for your Children!


You are the most important influence on your child. You can do many things to help your children develop healthy eating habits for life. Offering a variety of foods helps children get the nutrients they need from every food group. They will also be more likely to try new foods and to like more foods. When children develop a taste for many types of foods, it’s easier to plan family meals. Cook together, eat together, talk together, and make mealtime a family time! Here is a link with 10 very important tips:

From scoot bikes (practicing balance) to pedal bikes (training wheels first). Tips: hold the child, not the bike; start doing wind sprints/stretching NOW so when you dash after the child, you don’t have a stroke; since falling is part of riding, teach “tuck and roll;” more.

Academic Achievers’ private coaching is by far the best preparation you can give your student. Combine their way-above-average tutors with their exceptional customer service and you will understand why they have been nominated this year as one of the most successful small businesses in Los Angeles.
