Building on strengths, how it might work in practice<br />
You might like to start with the area of limiting small screen recreation and other<br />
sedentary behaviour. <strong>For</strong> many services this is likely to be an area where there are<br />
already restrictions or guidelines in place.<br />
Policy<br />
• Develop up a policy on small screen recreation and add in some information<br />
on limiting time that children spend seated or inactive<br />
• Display and promote the new policy<br />
Staff practice<br />
• Conduct an in-service to staff on policy<br />
• Implement practice change to monitor children’s participation in small screen<br />
recreation and time spent seated or inactive, particularly if it is during to free<br />
active play<br />
Families<br />
• Seek their feedback on the policy during its development<br />
• Send information home to parents on policy and small screen recreation<br />
• Encourage families to have a "Power Down" night at home where they don't<br />
participate in any small screen recreation or conduct a "Power Down<br />
Challenge" as a fundraiser<br />
Environment<br />
• Remove the television and DVD player from the<br />
view of children<br />
