Healthy Eating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Children need a balanced diet with food from all three food groups\u2014vegetables and fruit, whole grain products, and protein foods. Children need 3 meals a day and 1 to 3 snacks (morning, afternoon, and possibly before bed). Healthy snacks are just as important as the food you serve at meals. The best foods are whole, fresh, and unprocessed\u2014fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and meats; and home-cooked meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christian Vachon Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Christian Vachon Foundation<\/strong><\/mark><\/a> helps only children who attend a foundation partner school. There are two ways to get help from the Christian Vachon Foundation, either by being selected for the entire following school year, or by getting help for an urgent one-time request. Each year in April, the school team sends families the link to the online form. This form must be completed and sent before the recruitment campaign deadline. The selection takes place in June. A volunteer from the Foundation communicates directly by telephone in June and July with the families selected to inform them of the type of assistance that will be provided to the child as well as the procedure to follow.

Screen Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Children are exposed to more screens than ever before, including television, computers, gaming consoles, smartphones and tablets. While these tools may offer benefits for learning and exploration, too much screen time can lead to poor social skills and poor social attachments to parents and peers. Read more on how you can help your child manage their screen time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
