This is a science-based television project
Given the increase in childhood obesity and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease - the leading cause of death due to illness in Spain (31.7%) -, Dr. Valentín Fuster, President of the SHE Foundation, launched this project. A children's series that aims to cover educational needs in cardiovascular health, starting with the smallest.
The YES! (Integral Health) promoted by the SHE Foundation in various schools in Spain, has served as a guide to shape the healthy habits objectives that Sesame Street: super healthy monsters want to convey. Aimed at young people and dedicated to the promotion of Integral Health among children between the ages of 3 and 16, the SI! It aims to provide the individual with the necessary skills and values that allow the child and young person to act positively regarding their health throughout their lives
Sesame Street educational objectives: supersan monsters
They were determined by local experts from a wide variety of fields (nutrition and anthropology, physical education for early childhood, early childhood, medicine and media) at a seminar held in Barcelona in October 2011. These objectives were used as a guide in the development of a program that focuses on three main educational goals:
Healthy habits for proactive behavior regarding your health
Understanding the functioning of the body and the heart.
Adopting healthy eating habits.
Activating in the physical aspect.
Emotional aspect about feelings and how to manage them
Identifying, classifying and expressing feelings such as love, anger, happiness and sadness.
Imitating constructive ways of dealing with feelings and challenges, and empathizing with others.
Social aspect about people inside and outside their environment
Imitating relationships of mutual respect, cooperation and conflict resolution while playing and working together.
Showing how people with different appearances, behaviors or opinions play, work together and make friends.
We from Peques and Más trust this initiative and recognize positively any consensual action that aims to improve the health of the smallest of the house. In this case, television can become an excellent ally.
