Problem: Pretend that you have been charged with developing a program aimed at increasing healthy body and brain growth, and decreasing health issues and obesity in middle childhood. What components would you include in that program and how would you expect to see those components demonstrated in the home and school environments of children in middle childhood?
Be sure to use terms from Chapter 11 for this response. You should specify what parents and teachers who participate in your "program" would be required to learn about and implement in their care and education of children between the ages of 8 and 12. Include information about things such as: growth rate, height/weight ranges, nutrition, exercise and other activities, doctor visits, etc.
