A new educational video series addressing the obesity epidemic by focusing on kids talking to kids is making its debut in over 26 states this year. The FUEL" prevention curriculum developed by the Comprehensive Health Education Foundation (C.H.E.F.) is targeted to children ages 10-18 and profiles real teens who have made positive lifestyle changes and have influenced such change within their communities. In addition to the videos, the curriculum includes ideas for lessons and small-group projects.
The positive student feedback about the FUEL program already received by C.H.E.F. may be directly attributed to the power of peer influence. Peer pressure, as we all know, can be a bad thing. But when used as a force to make positive changes - it can be extremely effective.
