The Be Involved Campaign is a community wide effort to promote healthy development in young children. It encourages parents, caregivers, and educators to engage in eight key practices that support growth and learning. These are:
reading,
playing, listening, talking, hugging, exploring, cooking healthy, and limiting TV. The potential payoffs are enormous. If children are regularly exposed to these practices, then they can be healthy, safe, confident, creative, kind, active, curious, and problem solvers.
