"I guess the thing I love most about the program is that a health coach checked in with her regularly showed her how easy it was to include some healthy habits in her week, and they didn't lecture her about it. Nice for me as a parent to have someone else externally reinforce this."
- Ally, Think Eat and Move (Sydney, Australia)
Ally: Hi I’m Ally I’ve just completed the Think Eat and Move program with my daughter. I decided to join myself and my
daughter to the Think Eat and Move program because I noticed that she was spending a lot more time on her phone and her iPad and was simply developing some really unhealthy eating habits around snacking. We noticed that as she’s grown into a teenager her want to move and exercise had decreased so I hope that a program like Think Eat and Move could help change some of these habits.
I guess the thing I love most about the program is that a health coach checked in with her regularly showed her how
easy it was to include some healthy habits in her week, and they didn’t lecture her about it nice for me as a parent to have someone else externally reinforce this.
The changes I am proud of my daughter making is that she’s a lot more conscious of what she eats and loves reading labels and checking how much sugar is in things. She’s also taken to walking pretty regularly now with the dog it has been amazing to see how much happier she is within herself. She’s feeling better about herself overall and that flows into so many areas of her life. It was actually interesting the flow on effect of the program my husband and I both made healthy changes during the program too.
We walked more, opted for more water, ate healthier food options like salads with dinner. I think the biggest impact that the Think Eat and Move program had was it felt like my daughter learned things separate from me. She even started lecturing me about healthy habits which is great.
For another parent who is thinking of signing up I’d say do it. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain. The program talks to teenagers and can reach them in ways that really works.

What teenagers (and their parents!) are saying about us
The Active8 Program was informative and gave us the confidence to believe in the strategies we were following at home for meal times. Little changes implemented from the course have made a big difference in our house.Omar, father of 6 year old
Teenage children can be hard to motivate, and I feel professional people can provide more help. Think Eat and Move is a prevention program that is really needed. It provides ideas and knowledge - for not only the children, but the parents too - so we can do better in the future.Rojalin, mother of 16 year old

Think Eat and Move was very helpful in regards to guiding me on how to live a healthier lifestyle and help take care of myself effectively. I loved taking part in online sessions having time to talk to my coach and feeling better about myself once I had achieved the goals.Sammy, 13 year old
Learning about label reading was the best part of Think Eat and Move as I am now able to read labels and ingredients better!Wolfgange, 15 year old
I loved that our coaches checked in with him regularly and that they showed him healthy habits without lecturing him. Nice for me as a parent to have someone else/external re-enforce this.Sanna, mother of 17 year old
My confidence has increased significantly as I have family support and was given resources to help me improve when I loose confidence at times.Elissa, 16 year old
