National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month Communication Toolkit

September is recognized as National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. Kids need physical activity to be healthy. Playing sports can give kids benefits beyond physical health. They don’t need to be athletic — no matter what their level of skill or experience is, they can find an option that works for them.

To help your family get more active, check out the CDC's "Move Your Way®" materials for parents. Plus find the social media messages toolkit from CDC here.
