OVERALL CONCLUSION
Translating research findings on healthy lifestyles for children and families is not a radical or
even new concept. Historically, nursing has always supported health promotion. But the field,
until recently, labored under the heavy mantle of dyadic patient education without much
attention to behavioral change psychology or even health literacy. Attention to developmental
friendly alternatives in low demand settings for diverse communities is one step in not only
thinking outside the proverbial box but in actually delivering it.
