Kids' Health

The Washington Post's Kids' Health section paired two stories on raising healthier kids: the mistakes that quietly backfire when parents try to raise healthy eaters, and why active play between grandparents and grandkids benefits both generations. The illustrated cover shows kids having a joyful time alongside healthy snacks.
