Assess Calcium Intake
14
Pediatricians Call for Calcium Check-up

• Recommend 3 servings of dairy a day (4 for
  adolescents)
• Model healthy habits
• Be active
• Choose dairy first for lactose intolerance

15
Parent Role Modeling

• Role Modeling is Key
• Children drink more milk when their parents drink
  milk.
• Role modeling is effective for African- American
  girls. 
• Moms Need Calcium Too
• Women consume on average less than 1.5 servings
  of dairy foods a day.
• Only 15 percent of moms and young women (age
  31-50) meet current calcium recommendations.

Adequate calcium intake by all members of the
family is important.
