You, Your Child and Exercise

PRODUCED BY: Channing L. Bete Co., Inc.

TYPE OF MATERIAL: Booklet (15 page)

APPROPRIATE POPULATIONS: Multi-Ethnic/Gender, Adults, Parent

READING LEVEL (SMOG): 8th Grade

PUBLICATION DATE: 2000

Comments:
This material promotes the current physical activity message specifically to parents of young children. It encourages parents to become physically active for themselves as well as to set good examples for young children. While an abundance of material is presented, including a significant emphasis on other health-related behaviors, the writing style and layout of the message are good. Specific activities that can be performed as a family are very useful. While the 8th grade reading level is only "adequate" the information provided is accurate and fairly easy to follow. Descriptive graphics supplement the text and add to the visual appeal. Overall, this material provides useful information for parents to encourage their young children to become and remain physically active.
