Description
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well (Psalm 139:13 & 14).
Healthy Living for Christian Teens is a comprehensive health courses with real-life application. Students explore what they need (nutrition, exercise, loving relationships, mental health, spiritual strength) and what brings harm (tobacco, illegal drugs, addictions, bullying, negative thoughts).
Healthy Living for Christian Teens is project-based so students can put into practice what they are learning. Teens evaluate their eating habits with a food diary/analysis: create a personal exercise plan that includes strength training, balance, stretching, and aerobic exercise; and build their own first aid kit.
