10 ways adults can help children enjoy a healthy new year

AAP Division of Public Relations

The American Academy of Pediatrics offers the following tips to help keep children safe and healthy during the holidays and throughout the new year. (These are not in order of priority.)

1. Help reduce tobacco use among children, adolescents and young adults. If you smoke, quit. If you can't quit, smoke outdoors to protect your child against second-hand smoke.

2. Good nutrition makes for a healthy child. Be sure that your child eats regularly and has a variety of nourishing foods.
