NATIONAL PARKS:

KEN BURNS’ THE

Showcases America’s National Treasures

America’s Best Idea

What would you do if you knew you had ac-cess to a treasure in your own backyard?Georgians have access to several nationaltreasures including Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon, Kennesaw NationalBattlefield National Park in Kennesaw, Ander-sonville National Historic Site in Anderson-ville, Jimmy Carter National Historic Site inPlains, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta. Each of thesesites is operated by the National Park Service

and has joined with GPB to promote the 12-hour, six-part documentary series by KenBurns that tells the story of an idea asuniquely American as the Declaration of In-dependence and just as radical: that the mostspecial places in the nation should be pre-served, not for royalty or the rich, but foreveryone. From Acadia to Yosemite, Yellow-stone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades ofFlorida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska,the series explores the stories of people, from

every conceivable background, who werewilling to devote themselves to saving someprecious portion of the land they loved, andin doing so, reminded their fellow citizens ofthe full meaning of democracy. For more onthe series and ways that you can enjoy national parks and historic sites, visit GPB’swebsite, www.gpb.org.

Kids&Education

4 SEPTEMBER 2009 experience

Now that we know why children need to be active, it's time to getthem up and moving. Here's how:

1. Focus on fun. You don't have to call it "exercise," just consider it anactivity. Find out which ones your child likes and encourage those.

2. Limit TV and computer time. The American Academy of Pediatricsrecommends no more than "two hours of daily media exposure" for chil-dren ages two and older. When they are watching or clicking, make surethey take breaks and move around.

3. Schedule play dates. The key word here is "play." Have your childget together with a friend and play a game of tag, race down the block orkick a ball around.

4. Get fit as a family. Create some funny dance moves. Put up a net andshoot hoops. You could also visit a zoo, play miniature golf or enjoy otheractivities where a lot of ground is covered on foot.

5. Choose fitness-oriented gifts. For your child's next birthday, considergiving him or her a jump-rope, mini-trampoline, hula-hoop -- somethingthat will encourage movement.

6. Clean up. Chores don't have to be a bore. Sing a silly song with yourchild as you both wipe tables and counters. See how long both of you canhold a funny face while folding and putting away clothes. Older kids canhelp wash the car. On a hot day, this can turn into water play.

7. Skip the mall. Go to the playground. Sure, most malls have kids' playareas. But, when the weather is nice, enjoy a local park or playground in-stead. Fresh air always does a body good; especially a little one.

8. Be a model of fitness. It's much easier to motivate kids to be active,if you lead an active lifestyle. Whether you follow a structured fitness pro-gram or are lucky to get in some morning stretches, let them see youmoving. It will likely inspire them to do the same.

9. Encourage walking or biking whenever feasible. This is easy to ac-complish if you live near stores, libraries or other places you visit regularly.If you live in a remote area, establish a safe route to tour on bike or onfoot with your child.

10. Be a fitness advocate at your child's school. Do you know howmuch physical activity your child gets at school? Now's the time to findout. If you don't like the answer, gather support from other parents to en-force positive changes.

With childhood obesity increasing at staggering rates, parents and caregivers must play an active role in protecting children's health. Eatinghealthy foods is a key factor in maintaining their overall wellbeing. But, this has to be balanced with regular physical activity. Children who arephysically active on a regular basis will reap enormous benefits.

HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND FIT

KEEP YOUR KIDS

Georgia Public Broadcasting has received a grant from the Aetna Foundation to conduct a “Happy, HealthyKids Initiative,” that addresses how healthy diets and regular physical activity can help prevent the risk ofdeveloping chronic health problems, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma and heart disease. In this month’s article, Aetna provides tips on children’s exercise.

The Principal Story tells two stories, painting a dramatic portrait of the chal-lenges facing America’s public schools — and of the great difference a dedi-cated principal can make. Tresa Dunbar (pictured) is a second-year principal

at Chicago’s Nash Elementary, where 98 per-cent of students come from low-income fami-lies; in Springfield, Illinois, Kerry Purcell has ledHarvard Park Elementary, with similar demo-graphics, for six years. Tod Lending (P.O.V.“Omar & Pete,” 2005) and David Mrazek fol-lowed both women over the course of a schoolyear, discovering each one’s unique style yetsimilar passions.

The Principal Story takes the viewer along for an emotional ride that revealswhat effective educational leadership looks like in the 21st century.

Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 10 PM. Encores Saturday, Sept. 19, at 1 AM.

In conjunction with the airing of The Principal Story, GPB will also host advanced screening in conjunction with the Southern Regional EducationBoard, Georgia Leadership Institute for School Improvement, and GeorgiaPartnership for Excellence in Education.
