Explore the ways we’re teaching kids about health and wellness.

There are ways to ensure kids are getting the amount of physical and mental stimulation that can be so fun they won’t even realize they’re getting a workout! Educating our children on health and wellness is important—and the earlier we stress the importance of healthy habits, the more it will be ingrained and implemented into their lifestyles as they grow older. 

Health Powered Kids by Allina Health has made it our mission to educate and encourage kids to prioritize their health and wellness through a number of activities we’ve laid out below. Whether you’re looking to help your child manage stress better, learn about nutrition, teach them about the benefits of yoga and meditation, or educate them on what kids’ wellness means, we’ve got tips to help! Click on any of the activities below to learn more about health for kids.
