Parent Letter and Activities
For use with Chapter 1

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Your child’s health class is studying material about overall health and well-being. The topics covered are physical, mental/emotional, and social health. Questions your child will consider include: What are measures of good social health? How can I make responsible decisions? Why is it important to set realistic goals? With your help, your child can proceed with confidence and find satisfying answers.

To support and extend our classroom work, please set aside some time during the next few weeks to complete one or more of the following activities with your child.

  • Talk with your child about how you might work together to balance and care for your physical, mental/emotional, and social health.
  • Help your child work through one decision using the six decision-making steps.
  • Discuss goals that each of you wishes to achieve. Talk about steps you can take to move closer to those goals.
Please engage in any other activities that you feel would help your child deal with balancing the different aspects of his or her health. Thank you for your time and attention. As always, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Health Teacher
