Health and Wellness

Mrs. Esposito

RS. ESPOSITO

• In your child’s Health and Wellness class, we will learn to develop physical, mental/emotional, and social well-being healthy habits.
• Introducing healthy habits early on is crucial to your child’s long-term well-being.
• Children who develop healthy habits at a young age are more likely to make healthy choices when they’re older, more likely to develop higher self-esteem, higher self-confidence, and become more resilient.
• Adopting healthy habits also boosts immunity, supports healthy growth, and helps prevent chronic diseases.
• Healthy children are more focused and concentrated, improving academic performance, and paving the way for a successful future.
