What Families Can Do Together

• more than tripled among adolescent
• more than doubled among children ages 6 to 11*

It's a serious issue that can have consequences well into adulthood. Kaiser Permanente is taking action to help families tackle this problem head on.

Our free online video game, The Incredible Adventures of the Amazing Food Detective, is a fun way children can learn how to make healthy eating and activity choices. With the help of the Amazing Food Detective, players try to "crack" eight cases of kids who are in need of healthier habits. The colorful cartoon game, available in English or Spanish, stops after 20 minutes to encourage the players to get active.

We've also joined forces with Scholastic, the children's publishing company, to create educational materials to go with the game. They include:

• A guide for teachers*
• The Amazing Food Detective's health tips*
• Setting family health goals*

Also, be sure to check out these healthy living resources for the whole family.
