Institute launches new PSA
Your Gift will help bring Switch to families
Leading the way: addressing the screen time - obesity link.
Kids today spend more time in front of a screen than any other activity except sleeping. In fact, increased screen time over the past ten years is the most important lifestyle change for our children and is directly related to the childhood obesity epidemic. Watch our new PSA for a compelling reminder of this link.
Helping kids Switch what they Do, View and Chew™.
Our new PSA raises awareness about the relationship between screen time and childhood obesity. Switch™ - active Lifestyles from MediaWise® is the solution. The Switch program is the first obesity prevention program in the country to give families the tools they need to address all three major factors contributing to childhood obesity: activity, screen time, and diet. The Switch program makes it fun for kids to Switch what they Do, View and Chew™. The result is healthier, happier kids. Learn more.
