Busy Moms Speak Out About the Difficulties of Getting Their Kids Active

More than one third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese. “Physical activity is associated with many health benefits but most children fail to meet national recommendations,” according to Michele Gilson, MDA, RD and Lead Pediatric Nutritionist at Kaiser Permanente. “Juggling work, school and running the house leaves little time to find activities for my kids that fit my budget and schedule,” says busy mom Nicole Armstrong. This frustrated mom is not alone. “We have received 1,000s of inquiries from moms around the country who needed help finding the right programs for their families,” said Dawn Juntilla, Co-founder of ActivityTree.com. In response, ‘Find It For Me!’ was created to give busy parents time-saving, personal assistance to help keep their kids active all year long.
